Today is the Trifecta Jubilee 2025! Special shout out to Paulette for sponsoring today’s blog!
We have many celebrations today, hence the name, Trifecta!
First up, today is Negra’s 52nd Birthday! Negra is known as “The Queen” of the sanctuary. She is well-respected and sits upon her throne, or her nest, the majority of the day. Negra is our eldest resident and we are thrilled to celebrate her every year.
Negra:
Next, it’s Terry’s 35th Birthday! Terry is the most gentle, human-oriented guy we know. Blog readers may know him by his special ability to endlessly blow raspberries in our blog videos. He truly makes every day better!

Additionally, today is the 17th anniversary of the Cle Elum 7’s arrival to Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest (Jamie, Jody, Negra, Missy, Annie, Foxie, and Burrito). We unfortunately lost Jody in 2023, but the others are still thriving in sanctuary. 17 years and counting!
Our very much missed, Jody ❤️:

Lastly, it is also Animal Sanctuary Caregiver Day! It’s a day to celebrate caregivers all around the world for the work they do every day, to better the lives of the animals they work with. Shout out to our team at CSNW! We are all dedicated, hard-working chimpanzee lovers and I’m proud to be apart of this team.
