#SATURDAYVIBE!
Working for animals is certainly rewarding, above all, witnessing rescued animals returning to the wild, and righting misunderstood perceptions and mistreatments toward species. But it goes far and beyond when you can relate and share with like-minded fellow animal advocates.

BE IN THE KNOW
Calling our 24-hour wildlife rescue hotline is something most of you may be familiar with. But every second before and after making that phone call is just as important to the animal as it should be to you – because you can HELP the animal directly by reducing stress or ensuring their safety.

TALK TO ME LIKE BATS DO!
If you are lucky enough to have bats roosting in your garden, you may hear them squeaking or squabbling at times. Here is an interesting piece of information on Egyptian fruit bats who “talk” to other in their roost: https://tinyurl.com/y8c6hw4o
