Sounds of spring

by

The noises that accompany springtime have started to return to the sanctuary. This morning Negra was on high alert, alarm calling at the sound of a raucous bird making noise to the east side of the sanctuary.

Jody is always good for a reassuring hug, this is her concerned face as she rushed up to her good friend Negra:

Most of the other chimps delegated themselves to lookout duty. Here’s Missy:

Once the coast was clear, morning exploration could recommence! Missy(left) and Annie (right):

In memory of Simba

by

Today was sponsored by Lynda Bell in memory of her beloved cat, Simba. Lynda shared this lovely message about Simba with us:

“This is in memory of Simba, my 18-yr. old cat who passed away in January. Today was his birthday. I got him 17 years ago from the Oregon Humane Society. He was the most gentle cat ever. He loved people and other animals and got along well with all. I love the idea of the Chimpanzee Sanctuary and am very happy to sponsor a day for the chimps. I hope to come visit the sanctuary when it is possible in the summer! Thank you for all that you do for these wonderful chimps!”

Lynda, we are so sorry for the loss of your dear friend and family member, Simba. It sounds as though you gained an immeasurable amount of love and life from your time together. Thank you so much for choosing to rescue one of so many who need their forever homes and sharing all that a rescue animal can bring to our lives. We’re so glad you found each other. We are grateful to you for sharing Simba’s life and your compassion with us and the chimps.
