Lennie
Say hello to Lennie! Lennie came to PPI in October 2013 after being kept as a pet for his entire life. Like most primates who are kept as pets Lennie Read more
was not provided with the care he needed. Patas are the fasting running primate and need space to stretch their legs. Thanks to PPI Lennie now has that opportunity and is always on the move. He loves running along the side of his habitat and his favorite enrichment items are basketballs, bright colored toys and his giant caterpillar stuffed animal.

Junior
Say hello to Junior, our oldest gibbon, who came to the sanctuary Read more
in 1986 from a private owner in San Antonio, where he lived as a pet. At 41, Junior is geriatric (gibbons in the wild usually live to be 25-30 years). Care Staff have been instrumental over the last few years to keep Junior as comfortable as possible during his “golden years.”

Skeeter
Say hello to Skeeter, a 14-year old pigtail macaque, who had been purchased from a monkey breeder in New Orleans right after Hurricane Katrina Read more
, and brought to a small town in North Carolina where he’s been ever since. Skeeter’s owners treated the monkey, as is often the case, like a human primate, and fed him human food, got him addicted to television, and we later found out, neglected to get him any veterinary care—likely because it’s not legal to have a monkey as a pet in the town he was living in. Skeeter is looking for a sponsor at Primarily Primates. We are committed to Skeeter’s rehabilitation and well-being for the remainder of his life, and will do our best to ensure that he has the best life possible.

Kalpana
Among the 350 animals at Primarily Primates, there is one unlike any other—and that’s hanuman langur Kalpana. Endangered hanuman langurs, Read more

Joey
Meet bonnet macaque Joey! Before finding sanctuary at Primarily Primates in 2002, Joey was an ex-pet who had been shuffled around to a couple of different owners. Read more
Bonnet macaques, found only in India, have been named so because of their physical appearance. The coil of hair on Joey’s head, which radiates outward from the center, resembles a hat. Everyone at the sanctuary is envious of Joey’s head of hair, which always look good even in the humidity.

Carter
Animals typically arrive at Primarily Primates in Texas, the sanctuary Friends of Animals manages, with little fanfare, but “Carter the Monkey” is an exception.Read more
This rhesus macaque has not only made headlines, but people can even follow his journey from Charlotte, N.C., to PPI on Facebook and on Twitter—his hashtag is #travelmonkey.At PPI, Carter will hopefully be slowly introduced to a female companion, another rhesus macaque named Tori. Interestingly, Tori also lived in North Carolina as a pet monkey and found sanctuary at PPI in March of 2015.

Hillary
Hillary, a 14-year-old long-tailed macaque, who was released from John Hopkins University—has taken center stage at PPI. Read more
Her arrival in May brings with it the good news that the university is no longer required to perform a scan in a non-human primate before going into the clinic with a new radiotracer. Radiotracer is what is injected into a patient's arm or breathed in as a gas prior to PET scans, which use radiation, or nuclear medicine imaging, to produce three-dimensional, color images of the functional processes within the human body.
Prior to her arrival at PPI, Hillary earned a reputation for being a social butterfly—her care takers say she was very friendly toward other female long-tailed macaques and seemed to take great joy in the visual and auditory contact she had with pig-tailed macaques and rhesus macaques.

Izzy
Two-year-old Izzy is a new addition to PPI. “She’s probably one of the sweetest macaques I’ve ever met in my Read more
life, “said PPI Director Brooke Chavez, adding that she’s very intelligent too. The long-tailed macaques’ journey to PPI started in Jackson, Ohio, where a couple rescued her from an abusive home and reached out to PRC for help. PRC picked her up and transported her to PPI. When Izzy first came to the sanctuary she was very timid, but quickly started thriving under the care and attention provided by care staff. She responds to them with a quiet chirp followed by smacking her lips to let them know she’s interested in grooming them. “You can sit with her all day and she would just be so happy if you did so,” Chavez said with a laugh.

But don’t tell this cotton-top tamarin that. She thinks she is large and in charge—insisting on being fed first...before the other eight cotton-top tamarins at PPI. If that doesn’t happen she will let you know she’s upset with her loud chirping.

Kayla
Kayla arrived at PPI along with three other long-tailed macaques after being discovered in a Tennessee garage living

in nothing more than a bird cage. The ammonia level was so high from the monkeys living in their own excrement that rescuers had to wear masks to enter the garage. The sanctuary has transformed Kayla’s life and now she’s paying it forward. Recently, her sweet habitat mate, Igor, lost his vision. Kayla can be seen guiding him around and making sure he doesn’t miss food enrichment activities.

a short tail or, in a few species, no tail. They are highly intelligent and display a great variety of calls and facial expressions. One of the more common species of macaque is the the rhesus, many of whom have been widely used in medical and other scientific experiments, like the ones who now live at the sanctuary.

provide a great life for her here at the sanctuary. Prior to rescue, Tori was kept as a pet in North Carolina where she was neglected both physically and mentally, and is lucky to alive today. Tori is very thin from malnutrition and has developed muscle atrophy. Once she found sanctuary, she began to receive a healthy diet and has started to gain weight. It will take months of loving care from our care staff to help Tori feel like a monkey should. Now that she is becoming healthier, her personality is developing. During the day, she watches the playful antics of Freddy and Louie, and we have observed her initiating contact with little Freddy, also a rhesus macaque.
