PLEASE REMEMBER: Bat and wildlife rehabilitators are extremely busy, sometimes caring for orphaned and injured wildlife up to 20 hours per day. If you find a bat please DO NOT rely on email to get help since time may be critical to saving the bat. Please call a bat or wildlife rehabilitator nearest to your location as soon as possible. Most wildlife rehabilitators volunteer their time and money to save the animals, and they rely on the help of the public. Please also consider transporting the bat to them, meeting them half way, or making a donation.

Providing Temporary Care

If you do not find immediate help, temporary care can be provided in the following manner:

Line a box with an old t-shirt so the bat has something to hang upside-down on. Create some pleats in the shirt so the bat can hide if it wants to. (Make sure any tape that is used is secured well so the bat won't get stuck.) Put a small amount of water in a small, shallow container like a baby food jar lid. Place the lid on the bottom of the container and next to a wall so the bat can hang over it to drink. Make sure a top is secured to the box as some bats can squeeze through a crack as thin as 1/4"! If you must handle the bat please remember to wear thick gloves (even though rabies is rare in bats, if it bites you it will need to be tested). Keep the box in a room where the bat won't get too warm or too cold and away from children and pets until help is located.

People included on this list are concerned wildlife rehabilitators, biologists, veterinarians, conservationists and individuals who have volunteered to help people with bat questions or problems.
