We cannot thank you enough for your #GivingTuesday generosity! We appreciate the many ways you chose to donate, so while the total on our GT post doesn't reflect that we met our goal, we actually did because some of you donated through different venues! And of course, the fundraiser's still open as long as the original Facebook post is up, so it's not too late if you're so inspired.![]()
We also love that many of you donated prior to Giving Tuesday through our Chewy wishlist, which is always appreciated. We 💕you!
Endangered species live right in our own backyards! Many of those locals, like this little tricolored, are bats. We're here for all of Virginia's bats, endangered or not, but in 2023, we're especially proud that we've helped helped raise awareness of Virginia's vanishing tricolored, little brown, and northern long eared bats and helped quite a few of these state endangered miniature migrants find safe harbor until they were healthy and went winging their way into the wild night, where they belong. Thanks for helping us help them.
Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday... Why doesn't Sunday have a fun shopping name?![]()
We decided today is Stuff a Bat Sunday, which probably needs a little explaining...![]()
The bats eat mealworms, a LOT of mealworms. Your support makes feeding the bats possible. But sometimes it's more fun to get sweet sweet stuff instead of just dropping cash, even for a great cause. So for a very short time, you can show you're a friend to bats with a friendship bracelet!![]()

Happy Thanksgiving. We thank YOU! We are grateful for YOU. Without you, we couldn't spread the word about our wonderful native bats to thousands of people a year. Without you, we couldn't help rescue bats (including endangered species) through direct rescue, advice, and collaboration. Without you, we couldn't meet people where they are to show them the wonder of watching bats in their own neighborhoods#batsofvirginia##everybatispreciousr#tricolorbatu#endangeredspeciesd#batrescuecies #BatRescue
