Fellow Mortals is excellent! At my work a few years ago a goose was found in a water runoff. We could see it in the manhole. Public works came out and removed it but that was it, it needed help. So I called fellow mortals and I was able to bring it out. The goose was ok and released. When I brought it there I was told they take in 3000 animals a year with an 80% release rate. This was several years ago so it could have changed. Today I had to bring 2 baby squirrels in who the mother had abandoned. It sure is nice having somewhere to bring wild animals who are hurt or abandoned and hopefully released when they are ok. Thank you Fellow Mortals!!

I lie in a suburb north of Chicago not far from Wisconsin. I am a block away from Lake Michigan in an area that has a lot of ravines. I see many deer, foxes , birds and coyotes.. My nose tells me there is an occasional skunk around.Development of land occupied my the animals have forced many of the wildlfe into dangerous situations Fellow MOrtals is the answer to the unfortunate injures many of animals have had.. My son's Animal Rights group in HIgh School volunteered there. Many in his class went back to volunteer individually. Fellow MOrtals existed. FEllow Mortals makes a signifcant contribution It has grown, and has been able to target certain populations that have been very vulnerable.

I am an animal lover. A frien opf mine told me about fellow mortals when it began.In the area that Fellow MOrtals serveds thefre is no lorganiation like it. There are stoo many injured wildlife tht are left to die, Fellow Mortals fills a nuge void in this area.
I used to live in an area bordedred by the Coopk County Forsst Preserve. After Easter w ]e would find rabbits dropped off in thew woods. One day we dound a deer that had been shot with an arrow. FEllow Morgals didn't exist then. t was very hard to find homes for the rabbits. We finaly called the local zoo to help the injured deer. I

I visited here a number of years ago, but have never forgotten what it was like. The newsletters, besides keeping me updated, are so moving and inspirational. What gifted volunteers and writers!

I visited Fellow Mortals a number of years ago, and have been a regular donor ever since. It is a truly remarkable place, run by truly remarkable people. The newsletter put out is always a work of art. I know of no other place with this tremendous love of, and care for, our fellow mortals!

Fellow Mortals helped us late at night with short notice for a nest of starlings that had fallen down our chimney. They took the poor birds and delivered them the care we could not. We personally support them with our hard earned money because we believe they put it to good use!

Make sure they had the money in their operating budget to never have to worry about how they will keep their doors open.

I have been associated with Fellow Mortals for a number of years now and continue to be awed by the level of professional care and dedication by Yvonne and her whole staff. Having worked at a wildlife facility myself, Fellow Mortals continues to impress by its standards of cleanliness, care, expertise, and continuous growth. Their interns take their training and performance standards with them as they carry on in other parts of the country and world. This is such a valuable service and facility with ripple effects that benefit birds and wildlife in places far from the original facility. Many kudos to Fellow Mortals!!

The changes at Fellow Mortals receive much thoughtful consideration. What is best for the animals themselves is always foremost. The best change would be more money, more staff, more interns, more facilities... because there will always be more animals that need help!

After attending a fund raiser, I was so impressed with the presentation that I visited the facility the next day. I live 50 miles away, but it was worth the trip. The dedicated staff, working in small spaces, treating any and all wild animals, make a BIG difference. Made a difference in my life too. I was impressed and have been donating for the past 4 years. I know every penny sent is used efficiently and effectively. I love being able to support a local organization and see first hand what my contributions do. Happy 25th and many more. patty

I would give a million if I could so they could have more space, more equipment, supplies and staff. So many wild animals and the need will never end.

My wife and I became aware of Fellow Mortals one winter day back in the 90's when we were in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. We picked up one of their brochures and thought, "what a wonderful place showing compassion through helping animals". We checked into Fellow Mortals and found that they were everything they said and more helping injured and displaced animals survive, releasing them when they could, providing a permanent home when they couldn't. Since then we have contributed financially in a modest way to the on-going support and upkeep of this wonderful organization.

I am a donor plus I have also volunteered for this organization.
I have been to the property and seen what a wonderful, important
service they are providing for helpless wildlife!
I was fortunate to be able to go up to northeren Wisconsin to aid
in the release of several wild geese who had been injured.
It was a beautiful release site donated by private citizens on a river and a pond type terrain. It gave me "goose Bumps" to watch them take flight and join many others of their kind. This never would have happened
without Fellow Mortals ....they are totally dedicated to the geese and
any other injured animals in need. They always hold the hope of a return to freedom for all they care for. Bless Them....D.Celmer

We let our cats out but not overnight, and usually not without one of us with them. We have actually gotten them reasonably well trained to our lot lines. But, and with we humans there usually is a BUT, we aren’t watching them closely at all times. On one such occasion we ended up with a damaged rabbit at our backdoor. The vet said he couldn’t deal with it, but referred us to Fellow Mortals Hospital in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
We called them, drove the rabbit to them, and found out that they would make every effort to make sure the rabbit survived, and that they would hope to release him at some point in the future. Then is when we really understood the phrase “we are caretakers of the space we are living in”. We now try to aide Fellow Mortals financially and physically whenever they need help. The people that operate this organization are committed to making all animals brought to them feel comfortable even if it is obvious they will not be with them very long. They also, as a by-product, teach the persons bringing the animals what life should be all about. So the one rabbit has cost us some donated money and some volunteer time, but when we hopefully look down from heaven, we will be able to say we really did something important. Everyone should stop, observe, protect, encourage, defer, and love not only the people around us, BUT those birds and animals that we are endangering.

The only changes might be those that more money could provide, but they are amazing just 'as is'!
