Motor City Fur Con 2023 Charity: The Pipsqueakery

So what is The Pipsqueakery

The Pipsqueakery is a 501(c)3 nonprofit small animal rescue and sanctuary. We provide care for medically and behaviorally needy rodents and rabbits, educate the public on their care, and find forever homes and rescue placement for healthy adoptable animals.

The Pipsqueakery focuses on the care of animals with medical conditions including paralysis, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, amputations, and dental disease. Our goal is to advance veterinary care and develop individual plans that prioritize accommodating the special needs of each animal to allow them to live a fulfilling life as independently as possible.

MFF New Con Chair Duncan DaHusky

Who then posted the following statement

To be clear: being chosen to chair Midwest FurFest again is an honor and a challenge I gladly accept. We have an amazing team of smart, capable volunteers who work hard every single day of the year to prepare for the convention.

With 450+ people on staff, chair is a CEO/COO role these days, coordinating different parts of the org and making sure everyone has the tools and resources they need to succeed. I couldn’t do this without my vice chairs: @ramalion @WoodyMutt @theome @NallTWD and @hinopup

With this said about volunteers

I know the “condolences” are offered in good humor, but fostering the idea that volunteering for cons is a burden to be avoided is how you make sure nobody volunteers and there are no cons. Volunteer if you find it fun and fulfilling. At the very least encourage others to help.
