Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
Many thanks to the people at NextFoods, who were kind enough to donate (and deliver!) 10 cases of their Good Belly probiotic juice for the chimps. After we served juice this afternoon, Jamie did what she could to get that last bit from the empty carton.
Jody was trying to take a nap in the front rooms this afternoon, so Foxie made sure not to bother her while she was playing.
Today we loaded up a spray bottle with sparkling cider for the chimps. Everyone enjoyed the spray, although Negra had to take a break to spy on us in the mirror, and Missy and Jamie decided they would prefer theirs in a cup.
I envy chimps for their ability to clasp their feet together when they are resting.
Negra built a beautiful nest this morning from a brand new bale of straw. After settling in, she looked pretty content.
Join us this Saturday, July 25th, for a volunteer work party at the sanctuary. We’ll be doing lots of landscaping and gardening, and we could use your help. If you are interested, please email J.B. for details. Hope to see you there!
Recently, the students at Walter Strom Middle School here in Cle Elum held a fundraiser for the chimps with the support of the Cle Elum Kiwanis Club. By collecting change, the students raised $181, which we will use to care for the Cle Elum Seven. We are so grateful for the wonderful support we continue to receive from our community. Thanks everyone!
And if you are in the Seattle area, visit Corrine at the Hair Company on Greenwood. Corrine took part in our Holiday Fundraising program by donating the proceeds of her haircuts to CSNW, and she decided to keep the program going! Thanks Corrine!
