Katy is a 5 year old black white front capuchin, very well adjusted for a pet animal. Although Katy Jo was well cared for, there comes a time in most of their lives, when circumstances change for the owners, making it necessary to find another home for the monkey. This happened to Katy Jo. I was contacted by the owner, and I was told the monkey was not unwanted, but it was necessary she be placed in a sanctuary. I was told research had been done, and Mindys Memory had been selected for Katy Jo. I had an opening for Katy Jo with an elderly capuchin who was alone, and who I knew would be an excellent babysitter for a new arrival. Upon meeting, our resident monkey, Muggs, took Katy Jo outside with her. I wonder if she thought it was safer away from us, just in case we changed our minds about leaving her there? The following morning, I went out to give some apples slices to Muggs and Katy Jo. I laid several down on a shelf. Muggs came and took a piece and carried it to Katy Jo, then came back and got one for herself. Their intelligence and sharing is overwhelming to watch. The same afternoon , a storm came up and Katy Jo started barking like the capuchins do when frightened, and I witnessed Muggs putting her arm around Katy Jo and trying to shift her inside. No small feat for a 38 year of age monkey, which Muggs happens to be. This is another happy ending, I hope I can witness many more who need us, here at the sanctuary. |
