We’re so fortunate to have multiple days of sanctuary being sponsored today by friends of the chimpanzees!
To start things off we are celebrating the Marvelous Miss Mave and her 33rd birthday! Many thanks to Melissa Reed for honoring Mave and helping to bring even more hope, joy and possibility to her and her friends’ lives. We really appreciate you thinking of Mave, Melissa!
“Every time I look over at my calendar this month, that beautiful gal is looking right back at me! Happiest of Birthdays!”
Mave (along with Honey B and Willy B) have called Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest home for close to three years now and if you’ve followed the blog during that time you’ve most likely seen us waxing poetic and singing her praises every chance we get. Mave seems to be our resident social butterfly when most needed and we’re endlessly in awe of, and grateful for, her peace-keeping skills and kind and loving heart toward her fellow chimps. She is such a special person and we’re so honored to get to celebrate her!
Happy Birthday, Mave! We love you so!
Of course, be sure to tune in later today to join in her celebration and another sponsor a day in her honor!

Our birthday girl Maeve certainly lives up to the definition of her name in Irish Gaelic: She is “one who brings joy.” I wish our Divine Miss Maeve a happy birthday and another happy new year of bringing joy to those with the good fortune to live with and work for her.
