Today in memory of Zippy cat

by

Today is a Sponsor a Day in memory of Pam and Marc’s cat friend Zippy, who they still miss everyday.

The majority of CSNW supporters, like Pam and Marc, probably share their lives with companion animals. The CSNW staff collectively have dog, cat and bunny family members, and we understand the loss of animals under our care. So, today we’ll be thinking of the love we knew you gave to Zippy during his years with you.

Thank you for choosing to remember Zippy and helping the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees at the same time.

Today in honor of Kaite McGrew

Thank you, Kaite McGrew for sponsoring today and helping the Cle Elum Seven continue to lives filled with variety, enriching experiences, play and love! Every single donation to the sanctuary helps us to fulfill our mission, and we couldn’t do it without supporters (and Facebook fans!) like you.

Foxie’s new baby

by

Supporter and friend Tamela recently sent the chimps an incredible (and huge!) care package with all sorts of goodies. Foxie’s favorite gift was the doll featured in the video below. It’s always a little bittersweet to see Foxie exhibit such natural mothering behavior given her impoverished history, but it’s so rewarding to be able to provide her with another chance.

2nd goal reached!

by

Thanks, Barb in Ohio for making the pledge to cover the remaining $873 we had to go to reach our second fundraising goal! As of this morning (thanks, in part, to a generous check from Kat Morrell and to Tamela’s continued success with her Etsy store), we’re up to $40,476 raised! So close to our ultimate goal and three cages windows replaced with glass!!

Today is Felicity’s Day!

by

Anyone can honor a loved one! Visit the Sponsor-a-Day section of our donation info page.

accidental enrichment

by

Today was “fill the tub with water” day. We thought it would be fun to throw some of the forage in the tub. Apparently we do not know much about the buoyancy of fruit, because we figured grape tomatoes would float. They sank right to the bottom, and this turned into “accidental” enrichment for Missy and Jamie.

P.S. Thank you to Tamela for the sturdy tubs!
