Bat alert

We just learned that a bat located in the Park Hill neighborhood area has been checked by a veterinarian and found to be carrying rabies. Another bat located somewhere between Indian Hills and Sherwood is currently being checked for rabies, and findings will be confirmed on Tuesday. Because of its base profile it is believed it will test positive for rabies, too! Please make sure your pets are vaccinated for rabies, especially any small dogs and cats that may be left outdoors after dark! And if you enjoy taking an evening walk or run through the neighborhood, be alert! We have seen bat activity around our street lights, which attract flying insects that bats love to eat! The recent 70+ degree weather may have brought them out to eat, and we have more warmer weather coming later this week!
