📸 Kisa intake exam
As a sanctuary, we have a lot to be grateful for 💚

This Tuesday, we wanted to highlight our veterinary team. From intake exams to emergency surgeries, they do it all. Each of the 179 primates residing at the sanctuary require constant monitoring and care. We simply could not do what we do without our amazing veterinary staff.

🎉Happy Rescue-versary Elia! 🎉

Elia was rescued in 2009 from horrible conditions. She was confined to a filthy birdcage and was made to survive off water and peanuts. This lack of nutrition caused her to lose most of her teeth! 😩

After her rescue, Elia had a rough transition period. She had never had items of her own, room to play, or any companionship. It took her time to mentally decompress and not be fearful of her surroundings.💔

Today, Elia is a completely different chimp! Elia is both curious and intelligent, leading her to LOVE enrichment activities. She is surrounded by a good group of friends and has a particular love for socks. 🧦

🎉Happy Rescue-versary to Jac!🎉

Jac was rescued in 2009 after being tied to a tree without food, water, or the will to live. When he arrived at the sanctuary, he immediately rejected the team’s care. He was aggressive and would bite anyone who tried to help him. He had lost all trust for humans. He was the sanctuary’s first experience with chimpanzee who was experiencing deep psychological trauma 💔

Eventually, Jac found the desire to live and allowed Roxane to give him the comfort and care he so desperately needed 💚 Today, he has grown to be one of the largest chimps at the sanctuary. He spends his days among his close friends and LOVES to eat 🥬

Remember Kisa and Ngani? They were rescued over the summer after they mysteriously showed up at a local zoo without any documentation.

Now they are settled into life at JACK Primate Sanctuary 💚
