Bat Rescue
The Birds of Prey Center Utah is one of only 2 licensed Bat Rehabilitation facilities in Utah. We provide rescue, transport, and rehabilitation for orphaned and injured bats in Utah.
Found a bat?
Do not handle the bat with bare hands and do not attempt to rehabilitate the bat on your own. While less than 1% of bats have rabies, a bat that has been touched with bare hands in Utah will have to be euthanized.
Please all pets and children away from any bats on the ground. Please call us at (801)228-0831 and we can advise you on whether or not a bat needs to come into care. Many bats will rest during the day on the side of trees or buildings. This is normal behavior. If you think you have an injured or orphaned bat, please call us immediately and send us a text with location and a picture. Bat World Sanctuary in Texas has a website filled with information about bats and has a section on what to do if you find a bat.
