Perceived as vectors of disease and associated with vampire lore, bats have a bad reputation, and elicit fearful reactions from the public.
Up until 16 years ago, Barbara Gorecka, who's from Poland, had the same mindset, but one chilly January, the bats began creeping into her flat via the ventilation ducts.
Having sought advice from a friend-cum-microbiologist, her fears were allayed and over time, the nocturnal mammals began to intrigue her.
Such is Gorecka's devotion to the strange-looking creatures that she's now tended to more than 1,600 of them, with roughly three dozen under her wing at the moment.
If their hibernation period's interrupted by firework explosions or by climate change-induced rising temperatures, the bats are vulnerable and require nourishment.
These days, in her bat sanctuary - her 9th floor apartment in a residential block - Gorecka relies for assistance on a network of knowledgeable experts and enthusiastic volunteers.
Desperate to enlighten the public at large about her winged companions, she gives presentations to schoolchildren, focusing on the mammals' sociability.
One staff member is deputy head teacher Jadwiga Romankiewicz, who's based in a primary school.
Given that each of her animals is allocated a name, a bespoke feeding plan and a medicine regime, it's hardly surprising that Gorecka's earned the moniker 'Bat-Mum'.
