Great organzation doing amazing work! We had some swallows that had fallen from the nest a little too early and into an area where our doggie guests play so it was unsafe for them to remain. We called, left a message, and Fellow Mortals Volunteers got back to us with instructions and set up a time to bring them in. Thank you so much for everything you do!

I called after 7pm last night about a baby raccoon that I figure must have been hit by a car. Sadly the baby raccoon passed sometime in the night, but that's not why I'm leaving a one star review. The automated voice said they'd call me back in the morning, well it's already 3:40 and I still haven't heard back from them! You claim you care about animals, but then you don't call back the people who find animals past your working hours that have been injured! What a joke! BTW, the Rock county sheriff's call center gave me the number since none of the other wildlife rehab hospitals had working numbers and this poor baby needed immediate help. Maybe someone should provide emergency vet service for these creatures and make it easier to find someone that does! My point was that I called, left a message, (and the outgoing message said they return all calls in the morning) and did everything they said. Had they called before I left this review, I would not have been as angry as I am now! If you don't plan on helping all creatures, maybe change your name and let police call centers know that you only help prey. And raccoons are scavengers not predators. Maybe do your research! And own up to your lack of good phone etiquette. If you say you're gonna return all calls first thing in the morning, do it! Don't leave people waiting and wondering why this one helpless tiny baby's life was ANY less important than the rest you save! I pray you never have to wait for someone to call you back when someone or somethings life hangs in the balance and that life is lost during that waiting game.

I live in west Madison (about an 1 and a half away). I found a baby sparrow that couldn’t be returned to its nest, so I called. I was told if I don’t come the same day I called, they will not take the bird. Unfortunately, I couldn’t bring it the same day since I work and had a critical vet appointment to attend in the evening. So I asked if I could bring it in the morning the following day—I was told absolutely not. I currently volunteer at a rehab (we do not rehab birds), and I couldn’t understand how they expected me to drop everything and drive 1.5 hours there and back when I had prior commitments I couldn’t change with a moment’s notice.

Found some injured baby rabbits in our yard and wasn't sure what to do. Someone mentioned calling Fellow Mortals, and they are great. Called back quickly and we're very helpful and friendly.

I am and always will be so incredibly thankful for the blessing that is Fellow Mortals. Over the years I've found my fair share of injured animals and you can ALWAYS count on them to help in any way thay they can. Today my very blind 14 year old dog led me to an area behind my work and I found a juvenile ground squirrel by itself, it didn't look good but the little boy seems to be a fighter. After panicking (and honestly some crying) I called them. Within the hour they returned my phone call and set up an appointment time. Jess was an absolute delight and so passionate about rehabbing these beautiful animals. Fellow Mortals has helped SO many animals over the decades and Walworth County is a better place because they're here.

I brought robins eggs to Fellow Mortals last spring. They were so kind. So when I found an abandoned baby squirrel this year, I knew where to take it. They gave me a full report on his condition and thanked me for bringing him in. He wouldn’t have survived if I hadn’t. Thank you for doing good work Fellow Mortals!
