There ARE fates worse than death
My heart cracks a little more every time I see or hear the advice “Don’t take it to the rehabber! They’ll just kill it!” Or Don’t call animal control; they’ll just kill it; or don’t call the game warden, etc,…

A Plea from President Leslie
As we alerted you a couple days ago, there is a bill in front of the Virginia House of delegates, SB 1390, that authorizes anyone to release feral cats onto the landscape. We understand the reasoning behind the bill as…

Welcome 2015!
Baturday News is a weekly blog written by Rachael, a 7th grade student and Save Lucy volunteer. Rachael’s interest in bats was sparked by the big brown bats that used the outside of her former home for a winter roost. Her family cheerfully hosted this wild colony for years. Hi everyone! Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great one. It might have been hard for you all to stay awake that late, but the bats were just getting started when the ball dropped. Little Freda was very excited because it was her first New Year celebration. She tried to wear a festive hat and 2015 glasses, but they kept falling off. She has a tiny head, you know. The other bats all thought she was a little silly. 2014 was a very busy year here at Save Lucy. We said “hello” to a lot of new friends. We met “Paint Can”. We also got to meet a few new bat species…Freda is one of them, but we also got a couple of Seminole bats. We also said “good bye” to a dear little bat friend, Tinybat. Let’s hope that 2015 is just as exciting as 2014, but without the sad good byes. Happy New Year Everyone! [Please see our year end report here–ed.]
Welcome Quinn!
Baturday News is a weekly blog written by Rachael, a 7th grade student and Save Lucy volunteer. Rachael’s interest in bats was sparked by the big brown bats that used the outside of her former home for a winter roost. Her family cheerfully hosted this wild colony for years. Hi Everyone! I would like to let you all know about the newest bat at Save Lucy. She is an adorable Gray Bat (Myotis grisescens) with a very bad joint injury in her wing. Gray Bats are federally endangered bats who live in caves. I don’t think there are very many of them in Virginia, so this little girl is very special. Her injury is very serious and they aren’t sure she’ll completely recover. If she doesn’t recover, she’ll stay with the bats at Save Lucy. I hope all the other little bats welcome her into their group.
