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.

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!

Watch KONG 6/16 or KING 5 tonight!

by

Footage filmed a few weeks ago at the sanctuary about a story focused on the Great Ape Protection Act will air on Seattle’s KONG 6 tonight at 10pm and KING 5 tonight at 11pm. Tune in! We hear the teasers for the story were shown on the stations this morning.

*Note – I messed up! The program is airing on KING 5 and it’s affiliate station, KONG 6/16 in Seattle. Originally, I posted it was airing on KOMO 4, also a great station, but not affiliated with KING 5. Sorry!
