On July 31, Lubee celebrated its 35th anniversary. During that time, YOU helped us care for thousands of bats, educate millions of people, and conduct critical conservation projects. Bats continue to face unprecedented threats.  Together, we are giving voices to these unappreciated ecosystem guardians.

Caring For Our Beloved Bats

We will never turn our backs on bats that have been neglected and live in poor conditions.  In recent years, we have provided homes for unwanted bats who now live out their days with love and compassion. Caring for animals in need is a privilege, and allows us the opportunity to showcase their gentle nature to an audience who would otherwise never see them. As costs rise, your support is imperative to ensuring these animals live healthy and happy lives.
