Tallulah came into care in late August, aver having spent several days 昀氀ying
throughout a historic hotel in downtown Mineral Wells, Texas. She was apparently so enthralled with the grand old building that she spent days soaring through
the halls and lobby, both frightening and deligh}ng customers while the hotel
sta昀昀 tried their best to corral her. Finally, Tallulah realized the lack of bugs in the
hotel was going to be a problem for her long-term stay, and she landed near the
front desk to await rescue. Hotel sta昀昀 called us, and we sent a volunteer out to
give her a ride to the sanctuary.
When she arrived, Tallulah was in good spirits, though hungry and }red from her
jaunty adventure. However, on closer examina}on it was discovered that she was
missing two toes. The injury was long healed, and of course we aren’t sure how
this happened, but she seemed to do well despite this minor disability.

Tallulah remained in care for a few days to ensure she was in good enough shape
to 昀氀y free. During her stay with us, she developed a fondness for another rescued
free-tail named Be琀琀y, and they would oven cuddle up together in a plush pouch
awai}ng meals. As luck would have it, Tallulah a and Be琀琀y were both ready for
release at the same }me so we were able to send the }ny bes}es o昀昀 to freedom
together.
