Wildlife rehabber in the area who takes bats?

We found a baby bat in our home early this morning along with (presumably) its mother clinging to our bedroom curtains. We were able to open the window and mom flew out, but baby was left behind. My husband was able to (carefully, with leather gloves) get her into a safe shaded space on our 2nd story window ledge, but she hasn’t moved in hours. Not sure what to do at this point. Wildlife Welfare does not accept bats. I also tried the NCWRC locator, and the only wildlife rehabber in the area who accepts rabies carriers said she wasn’t able to take any more critters at the moment. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Want to add- yes, husband and I are both getting the prophylactic vaccine course starting today since they were both in our bedroom while we were sleeping :)
