Bat Rescue Southern California

http://www.batrescue.org/home.html

Welcome to Bat Rescue of Southern California, a small group of volunteers dedicated to helping bat species, even if we have to do it one bat at a time. We are located in San Diego County, but have permits from the California Department of Fish & Game to assist injured and orphaned bats from the Mexican border up to Santa Barbara County.

If you have found a downed bat don't touch it with your bare hands. Using leather gloves or a thick cloth, gently put the bat in a small box with the cloth (so it has somewhere to cling and hide), cover and keep it away from children and pets. Place the box somewhere warm, dark and quiet if possible. If you are in Southern California, immediately call 858/679-0211. If you're too far away from us, Bat World's Local Rescue page has a US map which shows lists of bat rehabbers by state. If you can't find help there, let us know and we will try to find a qualified bat rehabilitator in your area who can help you and the bat.

The Fund for Animals Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (FFAWRC) is located in northeast San Diego county, in Ramona, CA. The thirteen acre facility serves as a hospital and nursery for many native species of wild mammals and birds. A fully equipped medical center, and trained staff and volunteers insure that the special needs of the ill, injured or orphaned wildlife can be met 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This facility is also licensed as a "wildlife shelter." In this capacity, we receive and house both native and non-native wild animals that have been confiscated by the California Department of Fish and Game. These cases are usually a result of individuals found to be in possession of an animal without appropriate permits.

The FFAWRC specializes in birds of prey, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, crows, ravens and skunks. Our 150 foot free flight enclosure enables birds of prey, from Cooper's hawks to Golden Eagles, to exercise their atrophied muscles after recovering from illness or injury. Once rehabilitated, each bird is released back into its home territory.

Enclosures for mammals are spacious and comfortable. These enclosures allow the orphaned youngsters and recuperating adults to get plenty of exercise and same species companionship with no human contact. Every young animal is raised wild to enable the youngster to naturally develop the survival skills necessary for life in the wild. Sick or injured adults are kept wild and all are fed diets consisting of their natural foods. Recuperated adults are released back into the areas from which they came.

This facility is but one facet of the work done by The Fund for Animals, Inc. For more information on The Fund for Animals, Inc. or its founder, noted author the late Cleveland Amory, please visit their web site, www.fund.org.
