✨ BEST FRIEND FOREVER (BFF) LEVEL — For the Truly Devoted Bat Enthusiast ✨
At the BFF Level, you’re not just symbolically adopting a bat — you’re entering full-on Bestie Territory with one of our beautiful and social-media-famous bats. Yes, those charismatic icons who steal the spotlight (and occasionally the snacks) on our feeds.
Your support helps provide gourmet fruits, top-tier veterinary care, and the enrichment that keeps our bats THRIVING: from puzzle toys and bells to bubbles, paints, and whatever else fuels their daily dose of delightful chaos.
 
When you join the BFF circle, you’ll receive:
 
🦇 A personalized Certificate of Adoption — official, adorable, and brag-worthy
📄 Your bat’s Fact & Bio sheet — packed with personality and fun science
📸 A 5x7 photo of your bat bestie — perfect for desks, shelves, and placing right next to the kids or grandkids (😉they’ll understand)
✨ Two Lubee Bat Conservancy stickers — represent the our colony everywhere you go
🧸 A bat plush — enjoy your new cuddle-compatible friend while your BFF bat lives their best life at Lubee
 
Your adoption directly supports the care, enrichment, and everyday fabulousness of our bats and trust us, they appreciate it more than they’ll ever admit.
 
All symbolic adoptions are lovingly hand-assembled by real humans (not bats… we tried, but they kept stealing the stickers 🤷‍♀️🙄). Please allow up to 2 weeks for processing.
 
We are saddened to announce the recent loss of beloved Evening Bat, Chickpea. While we don’t know her exact age, we do know that Chickpea has been a Lubee resident for over 8 years, greatly exceeding the average life expectancy of 5 years.
 
In 2017, Chickpea was brought to a local animal hospital due to a wing injury. This resulted in the amputation of her left wing. Since she could no longer fly or survive on her own in the wild, she came to Lubee where she quickly became a very beloved resident. During her time at Lubee, Chickpea helped numerous people learn about our native bat species and their importance to our ecosystems. She traveled to local libraries, breweries, and schools to help our community learn even more about our backyard neighbors.

In her honor, all remaining Chickpea adoption packages will continue to be offered, with proceeds supporting the care of Lubee’s other incredible residents. Please note that these adoptions will be limited, as we will not be making more of them. We encourage those unable to adopt Chickpea to consider supporting another of her adoptable batty buddies in her honor.
