What does the fox say?

December 15, 2023 by Jenna

We received a giant stuffed fox during the Comfort and Joy auction, thanks to a special donor! Due to some enrichment restrictions, Cy’s group cannot have any stuffed animals (a few of them would eat it) but they still got to meet the fox and enjoyed it. Later in the morning, after cleaning the Playroom for Jamie’s group, we set up the stuffed fox on Burrito’s blue barrel. As you will see in today’s video, Burrito absolutely had the time of his life. What else is new?

Thank you Pamela N. for the fox!

Happy Birthday, Chuck, from Martha!

December 15, 2023 by Katelyn

Our many thanks to Martha Sikaras for this day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees in celebration of her husband, Chuck!:

“This day is sponsored to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Chuck has been my life’s partner for over 27 years. From the day we met, he has been committed to the protection and safety for the world’s great apes”.

Happy Birthday from all of us here, Chuck! Thank you both so much for including the chimpanzees in your special day and helping to make their days special as well.
