Cy’s 33rd Birthday Celebration

March 12, 2023 by Diana

There’s a lot of love going out to Cy today on his 33rd birthday. Thank you to everyone who sponsored the day in his honor, made donations in his name, and purchased the limited edition Cy’s book club merchandise!

Today was also the first day of Daylight Savings Time. For CSNW, that means that, while we turn the clocks back like everyone else, we keep on the same actual time schedule for the chimp house. So, expect your blog posts an hour later than “usual” (or even later if I’m writing the blog, especially if it’s a party day).

If you haven’t already, please do think of Cy this evening and wish him a happy birthday in your heart. We don’t know what we’d do without him and his leadership over the sometimes rowdy group of nine!

Happy Birthday to Cy!

March 12, 2023 by Katelyn

Heartfelt thanks to Zoe Pedersen for helping us kick off Cy’s special day by sponsoring a day of sanctuary in his honor! We truly appreciate you thinking of Cy and his friends and neighbors, Zoe, and for helping us honor and celebrate what a special chimp person he is. (We’re so grateful to have two sponsorships in celebration of Cy today!)

Happy 33rd Birthday, Cy!! This wonderful guy…we love him so.

Cy with Dora and his sister, Lucky:

Thank you to everyone who has helped us plan and prep for Cy’s birthday today! Whether you were able to help us shop for his library supplies on our Amazon Wishlist, you were able to grab a limited edition t-shirt or tote for Cy’s Book Club (there are other CSNW items available anytime), you are a Produce Patron helping us keep his belly full of party mangoes, you are Cy’s Pal, and/or you are here with us every day following his life on social media and shouting his amazingness from the rooftops (or just in your own head 🙂 ). From our hearts, thank you for seeing what a special individual Cy, and each of the chimpanzees, is. And please know we are celebrating you, too! You make everything in Cy’s life possible.

For Cy!

March 12, 2023 by Katelyn

All Cy, all day! Of course! And we’re so thankful to Tami Roy for also sponsoring beloved Cy’s birthday and helping us make his celebration as special as possible!

“For Cy, my spirit animal! I hope you and your friends have a great birthday party!”

Thank you so much for helping us honor Cy today, Tami!

Cy is someone who takes up a lot of space, from stature and awe, to presence and heart. May his celebration (and his new library!) fill his big ol’ spirit just as he fills our hearts and let him know how very grateful we are to know him and have him in our lives. And for upping our bookworm game. 😉

Happy Birthday, Cy!!

Honey B, Rayne and Cy:
