Found an injured or orphaned bat? Bat World Sanctuary's Local Rescue/Assistance page lists volunteer bat workers or rehabilitators in your state or country. If you believe that the bat has in any way made contact with bare skin or bitten through clothing, made contact with domestic animals, or was found inside a residence where it could have made contact with sleeping or disabled persons or with children, please promptly call your local health department or animal control agency for medical advice.

Bats have very specific dietary requirements, and should only be cared for by trained, rabies-vaccinated rehabilitators (we get our rabies shots in the arm now, thank goodness!) familiar with the various bat species and the nutritional profile of each species. If you're interested in volunteering or helping bats, Bat World has a lot of good information about how to get involved with hands-on bat care.
