Project Report | Dec 31, 2019
3,650,000 Steps

Dear friend and supporter, 

Next year begins a new and exciting decade and Fellow Mortals 35th year as a wildlife hospital.  Every year, we help more people with wildlife situations and witness how education and information can change a perceived conflict with a wild animal into an opportunity for learning and appreciation of the species' importance to our earth.

As our view shifts from wildlife as 'interlopers' in 'our' space toward understanding that humans are the 'new species on the block,' we see more compassionate acts of people rescuing injured wildlife, being willing to take the time to transport an animal into proper care, and of actions taken and decisions made that prevent unnecessary orphaning and displacement of wild families.

Thanks to your support, Fellow Mortals has completed another year of service to the wild and human communities.

Whether you rescued an injured or orphaned wild animal, made a monetary donation, or a gift of supplies from our wishlist—we thank you for caring about the wild ones.

In 2019, your support made possible:

  • 13,000 hours of care for raptors, deer, endangered/threatened species by licensed wildlife rehabilitators
  • 4,320 hours of orphaned small mammal and songbird care by wildlife interns
  • Rehabilitation of—
    • 407 Eastern Cottontails
    • 200 Eastern Grey Squirrels
    • 16 White-tailed Deer
    • 24 Canada Geese
    • 62 Mallards
    • 48 Wood Ducks
    • 124 American Robins
    • 17 American Goldfinches
    • 18 Cedar Waxwings
    • 57 Mourning Doves
    • 22 Red-tailed Hawks
    • 20 Great Horned Owls
    •  and many others--
  •  5,000 people provided with information and advice on the phone or in person
  •  Education programs and community outreach
  •  Support for law enforcement, humane societies, veterinarians, state and federal agencies

3,650,000 steps?  Shout out to our Team Hope recurring monthly donors--You were with us every step of the way; that's the number of steps one full-time wildlife rehabilitator at Fellow Mortals walks in a year!

Thank you for supporting our work with the wild ones and we wish you and your loved ones a happy New Year!
