“…I'm truly sorry man's dominion
Has broken nature's social union,
An' justifies that ill opinion
   Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor, earth-born companion,
   An' fellow mortal…”

Robert Burns, 1785

Do you know what you should do if you find
an Injured or Orphaned Bird or Animal?

Fellow Mortals takes calls about injured and orphaned wildlife 7 days a week and begins returning calls at 10 a.m.  Animals are admitted BY APPOINTMENT seven days a week, between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.  Exceptions are made when necessary.

Please remember—Fellow Mortals is like a human “MASH” unit—all of the animals brought to us are suffering injuries or conditions that would be considered “emergencies” in people.

As long as you keep the animal contained, warm and quiet, the animal’s care will not be compromised by waiting for Fellow Mortals’ staff to return your call.
Every year, thousands of wild animals are injured or orphaned as a result of human activities. Their legs are broken by fishing line, their wings are fractured after colliding with a car. They sustain head trauma from hitting windows and are poisoned after eating insects and plants treated with pesticides and herbicides. During spring and summer, newborns and infants are orphaned when their parents suffer any of these injuries.

Established in 1985 and incorporated in 1991, Fellow Mortals is one of the largest wildlife rehabilitation facilities in Wisconsin. Fellow Mortals admitted more than 2000 birds and mammals in 2006, with the majority of them successfully rehabilitated. Our release rate varies from year to year, depending on the age, species, and condition of the animals admitted. All critical care is done on-site, and our figures include animals which were either dead or dying on arrival – or which required euthanasia shortly after admit.

We're Here Because You Care
Fellow Mortals, Inc. is a charitable corporation organized under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Fellow Mortals is licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to care for native mammals from Wisconsin, and by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to care for migratory birds from Wisconsin and Illinois.
