Where can I find a free capuchin monkey rehome?
A lot of people reach out to us wondering if there isn't an older free capuchin monkey out there that they can adopt. They tell us they've always wanted a monkey but never really could afford one and have a hole in their heart that needs to be filled.
Capuchins for sale are expensive but so is their care. While free rehomes do become available from time the time, the chance for a first-time primate owner to adopt a capuchin monkey is very slim and not advisable. Don't forget, the reason why people rehome an animal is in many cases because they have a hard time handling their primate in the first case. Unless you have a lot of experience with primates, you'll have a hard time understanding their body language and you will most likely end up getting hurt. People that rehome their capuchin often still have a strong bond with their capuchin and will want what is best for their primate, so they nearly always reach out to more experienced primate owners to adopt their capuchin.
