Rescue - 1st July, 2021

Rescue

This young soprano pipistrelle was attacked by a cat, before being caught and brought into the centre for help.

Rehabilitation

Luckily, it seemed to have escaped major injury, but still needed a precautionary course of antibiotics just in case. With his eyes still closed, this little one still had a lot of growing left to do, so was transferred to Surrey Bat Rescue

Release

Once he was old enough, he was released in an appropriate location, to start his new life in the wild!
