Human eyes, unshadowed, will perceive.
Human hearts, once sundered,
have no choice but to love."

| Fellow Mortals was founded on the belief that a compassionate act on behalf of another living creature is one of the noblest deeds that can be performed by a human -- reflecting something fine and rare that is the very essence of the human spirit.
We believe that, by providing a place for people to bring the wild creatures they find injured or orphaned, we are encouraging that compassion which reveals the finest aspects of our humanity and, as a result, we are helping to make the world a better place for all creatures -- humans and non humans. At Fellow Mortals, all creatures are treated with equal compassion, regardless of species; we work with a wide variety of mammals and birds, large and small, common and rare. Animals brought to Fellow Mortals by the public remain on-site and under our watchful eyes from the time they are admitted until the time they are released back to the wild. Fellow Mortals is one of a very few full-care facilities that make this commitment to the individual animal and the public. Fellow Mortals, Inc. has served state-line communities since 1985, and will admit more than 2,000 birds and mammals in 2006 alone. One of the largest wildlife rehabilitation facilities in Wisconsin, it is also one of the few to provide care for patients from admit to release, being equipped to provide emergency as well as rehabilitative and pre-release care on-site. Fellow Mortals' Director, Yvonne Wallace Blane, is past-president of the Wisconsin Wildlife Rehabilitator's Association and an advisory board member for the Illinois Wildlife Rehabilitators's Association. |
