The Bat Conservation Trust has just put pdfs of some of the talks at the Autumn Bat Care Conference onto their website.
These will be of interest to any one involved in bat care. Bat care is very demanding and the success rate is relatively low, as any bat found injured is likely to have major difficulties. It is not something to be undertaken lightly
One of the pdfs outlines how we set up a bat care group in Bedfordshire

We are currently over wintering one bat which was badlymauled by a cat. It has made a good recovery and is now flying indoors. We hope his fur will regrow in the spring, and that his fur will regrow
