We're almost done putting it back 2gether but the outside mesh needs replacing.21 Jul 2025 11:59 +0000at://did:plc:2chvych5zhncc46lsd3eddz3/app.bsky.feed.post/3luhwusxgmc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/amypanikowski.bsky.social/post/3lpymooviu22aLittle girl was caught by a stray cat last Sat. My friend safely collected her & brought her to me immediately. She lost part of her 3rd digit but she's doing great. Done w antibiotics, it's just R&R until the wing knits & we can see if she can fly well enough to be released.🦇❤️25 May 2025 12:06 +0000at://did:plc:2chvych5zhncc46lsd3eddz3/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpymooviu22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/amypanikowski.bsky.social/post/3loe3wcgzl22qAbsolutely happy moment for one of our bat rescuers as she returned this juvenile Mauritian tomb bat to his home at a school in the Bluff.
