Finding Sanctuary

BIG NEWS! Meet Gambit, our primate sanctuary's soon-to-be newest resident! A 5-year-old rhesus macaque, Gambit has lived as a pet in Las Vegas for his entire life. Follow us over the next 24 hours when we will post from the road as we drive back to the sanctuary! #GambitsJourney https://t.co/jJihstaygv

Welcoming a new #monkey to our #PrimateSanctuary provides the animal with something truly priceless: a life of safety, nature, and friends. But, it is expensive! Find out how much it costs to rehome a vervet like Kiki and how you can help! https://t.co/sTzeP54hbd #KikiVervet

Across the U.S., thousands of #monkeys and other nonhuman primates suffer in captivity as #ExoticPets. Little Kiki was one such #animal. Now at our #PrimateSanctuary, Kiki's life has completely transformed! WATCH & SHARE Kiki's story 🐵 #KikiVervet https://t.co/yDCFAXnyan

Happily, Kiki's over-all health seems quite good and our plan is to bring her into even better health via a balanced diet. #KikiVervet 2/3 https://t.co/hVGOTNseBO

#KikiVervet en route to our #primatesanctuary today. Relaxed and curious with about two more hours left until arrival at her new home at #bornfree https://t.co/KoBsfjVIPZ

#ICYMI: Read our new #blog exploring our process for medically assessing new #PrimateSanctuary #monkeys when they come to the #sanctuary and what we learned about the health of Kiki, our sanctuary's newest resident, during her exam. https://t.co/sIevPp0FaO #KikiVervet

Kiki finished her quarantine period and has moved into her space near our #PrimateSanctuary's other vervets. So far, she has been calm in her interactions with the other #monkeys, which bodes well for making friends and being able to share living space with them soon! #KikiVervet https://t.co/32HqXRDeMI

Kiki the vervet has been at our #PrimateSanctuary for a week. In this new #blog, Programs Director and head of the #sanctuary, Dr. Liz Tyson, writes about Kiki's progress so far and the process of preparing to take in a new #monkey resident. https://t.co/aorR0nAzvI #KikiVervet

After her first day at our #PrimateSanctuary, Kiki is doing well and just finished her health check up with #sanctuary staff veterinarian, Dr. Katie Johnson. Here, Dr. J talks about how Kiki's exam went and how we hope to improve her health with proper nutrition! #KikiVervet 1/3 https://t.co/N2cpc8OAsa

BIG NEWS! We’re welcoming a new #PrimateSanctuary resident today: Kiki the five-year-old vervet! Kiki comes to us from a private home, where she was kept as a pet since she was a baby. We are driving her to the #sanctuary today, so follow us as we post from the road! #KikiVervet https://t.co/MBz1sMymIs

Kiki is out of her quarantine period, in her new natural space, and ready to make friends with our #PrimateSanctuary's other #monkeys, but she needs your help! Please be a hero for #KikiVervet on her journey of healing by adopting her! Visit https://t.co/ZyVbfkxcRa https://t.co/0jtV4FA8lC

The first thing we do when we welcome a new #monkey to our #PrimateSanctuary is assess the animal's health. Kiki was no different! In this #blog, Dr. Liz Tyson, writes about Kiki's exam, her health, and our plans for supporting her well-being. https://t.co/sIevPp0FaO #KikiVervet

Kiki's bloodwork does indicate a high level of stress, which is not unexpected for a #monkey who had been kept as an #ExoticPet. As Dr. Johnson explains, we think the natural setting of the #PrimateSanctuary and the chance to interact with other #monkeys will help! #KikiVervet https://t.co/p4sYnOBabM

Update from Liz on our journey to the #primatesanctuary with our #kikivervet. Very close and excited to get her home. https://t.co/uzot3aK7nU
