There's 4 places and people that inspire my work and motivate me, Wild Whiskers is one of them, they're an animal rescue and wildlife rehabilitator in Kalamazoo MI, they've inspired a lot of my work with domestic cats and keeping my property safe for wildlife.
Mousetales is number two, she's in Ann Arbor Michigan and hence the name, she works with mice, she's also a wildlife rehabilitator, she's inspired my work and love for mice both domestic and wild, while I'm not a full wildlife rehabilitator, I can work with wild mice since they're a non protected species here in Michigan.
Coming in at number three is The Raven Corps, they're a youth led vegan organization in Portland, Oregon but they have branches in other states, I run one of those branches called The Mouse Corps as I was promoted to being a Lead Raven last year, our goal is a collective liberation to protect people, animals, and the planet. I use my Corps branch for missions like the Corps main mission Mind Over Milk, but I've also used it for other missions like getting glue traps off of store shelves and helping animal shelters.
Now the last place, this is a controversial one, but PETA is one other place that has inspired me and as a matter of fact inspired me to open an animal sanctuary. My mother introduced me to them around back in 2022 I think, she said she mainly signed petitions on their page. I took a look at them and soon enough I started working with them, then I opened the sanctuary. PETA has actually helped me out with supplies too, they've donated cat toys to me, humane mouse traps, and even a trash cleaning set because I like to clean up litter around my town in the spring and summer times.
Eventually they've inspired me to do my own cruelty investigations and write my own research articles.
I'm always one that needs multiple sources of inspiration, and these 4 animal rescuers and activists, well they gave me the perfect inspiration I needed for what I'd say is my greatest work of art.
