Desperate to fly
A sweet Egyptian fruit bat will be on his way to us next week from Virginia. He was rescued after being kept as a pet along with three other fruit bats. Sadly, the person who bought the bats went on vacation and paid someone to come in to feed and water the bats while he was gone, however, that person never showed up. Branch, the lone survivor, was rushed to a veterinary clinic clinging to life. Thankfully, a wonderful veterinary technician saved him and then contacted us. Branch (named by the technician's 3 year-old daughter) is currently receiving excellent care by the vet tech. He is in a bird cage for now, and as you can see, he is desperate to fly. Hang in little Branch, you will soon have an expansive indoor/semi-outdoor flight enclosure with over 100 new friends of your own kind, and you will never go without food and water again.
Donations from our wonderful supporters allow us to save bats like branch by providing fuel for our volunteer transporters, and even airfare when needed. Thank you for any help you can provide: https://batworld.org/donate/
