Mission
Fellow Mortals is more than a place. It is a living philosophy based on the belief that encouraging compassion in humans toward all life brings out the finest aspects of our humanity. Fellow Mortals provides excellent medical care to injured and orphaned wild animals entrusted to the hospital by the public. Fellow Mortals continues to advance treatment for the most critically injured and compromised animals admitted for care, demonstrated by a continued high rate of recovery and release back to the wild. Fellow Mortals also attempts to limit the number of animals admitted for care each year by offering public education to prevent unnecessary injury and orphaning, thereby reducing the total number of animals admitted. Through the hospital's Wildlife Care Internship Program, Fellow Mortals provides training opportunities for young professionals entering wildlife-related fields.
Programs
Fellow Mortals provides medical and rehabilitative care to approximately 2,000 wild animals annually, operating entirely on donations. Our services are available to anyone, regardless of their ability to donate. In addition to rehabilitation, Fellow Mortals has an intern program which provides hands-on training to recent graduates in wildlife-related studies, giving them the experience needed to obtain a position in their chosen profession. Fellow Mortals also provides public education intended to reduce and prevent injury and orphaning of wild creatures, giving formal programs to the general public and to schools, as well as providing one-on-one advice to people who phone the hospital or bring an animal to us for care.
