At Cottontail Cottage Wildlife Rehab, we care for a variety of injured, orphaned, and displaced wildlife, and each animal that arrives in our care has a story of survival. One group that needs our help the most are the bats. These incredible creatures are often misunderstood, feared, or dismissed, but at Cottontail Cottage, we know that bats are vital to our ecosystem. They help control insect populations, pollinate plants, and disperse seeds.

However, after receiving care in our clinic, these bats need one final step before they can be released back into the wild: a safe and controlled environment where they can regain their strength, hone their flight skills, and prepare for the freedom they deserve. That’s where a bat flight cage comes in.

A flight cage will allow our rehabilitated bats to take flight again in a controlled space, helping them rebuild the strength and confidence they need for survival. By simulating real-world conditions, we ensure that each bat is ready to navigate the wild with agility, speed, and precision, essential for their survival after release.

This cage will not only improve the health and outcomes of the bats we rehabilitate, but it will also give them the best chance at survival upon release. It will allow us to properly evaluate their flight patterns, behavior, and overall health, ensuring they are fit for life in the wild. With this crucial step, we can reduce the chances of them returning to our care due to injury or illness, and instead, watch them soar freely under the night sky.

By building a bat flight cage, we are not just helping individual bats — we’re supporting the future of our local bat populations and contributing to the delicate balance of our ecosystems. Your support will help make this life-changing facility a reality and give these misunderstood creatures the second chance they deserve.

Any excess funds raised will be directed to the Cottontail Cottage Wildlife Rehab general fund, which is dedicated to supporting the ongoing care and rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife.
