🚨🦇 Bat friends of the Fedi!

Bat friends of the Fedi! Help me help the sky puppies plz!

Are you in the US (and some parts of Canada) and occasionally available to drive an injured bat from the person who found it to the local rehabber who can help it? Especially if you are in central Florida where I am, please reach out to me here, or via Signal!

We constantly get calls for bat help from folx who are just a little too far away for me to get to myself, and the finder isn’t always in a position to drive themselves. Volunteer transporters often make the lifesaving difference for our bats in need. We even set up relays where the trip can be broken up if you can’t drive the full distance. And Bat World Sanctuary reimburses fuel mileage!!!

Please don’t hesitate to ask questions if you’re curious, I’m happy to go into special interest mode, LOL.

This is a no-contact situation; you pick up a bat that’s already in a box and drive it to the rehabber who contacted you. It’s super low pressure. If you’re not available they just go to the next volunteer on the list. No biggie.

Floridians: if you do sign up, please ping me directly so I know to look for you! The registration to be a transporter in the US is a googledoc managed by Bat World Sanctuary:
