New World Monkeys

New world monkeys are those that come from Central and South America.

Mr. Jenkins

black-handed spider monkey

Birth date: Unknown
Arrival date: 2002

More information

  • Previous home details:  Mr. Jenkins began life with people as a pet, then was sold to train to be a movie star. However, he would not perform as required, so he was sold to a petting zoo where he was to be used in an educational program with children. He was too unpredictable for this work, so he went to auction. When he was not sold for the price that was wanted, he was returned to the petting zoo. SBFPS contacted the zoo, and over time they agreed to retire Jenkins to the Sanctuary.
  • Condition upon arrival:  Mr. Jenkins' health was good when he arrived at SBFPS, but his behaviour was unruly and unpredictable.
  • Progress: We have been able to extend his indoor and outdoor enclosures to give him more space to swing and jump.
  • Personality:  Jenkins loves to pay attention to people passing by. 
  • Favourite Activity: EATING!!!!  He loves to swing and jump to different areas of his enclosures.
  • Favourite Food: Jenkins loves bananas and celery
  • Wishlist from staff: More time for his "trainers" to work with him to keep making improvements in his behaviours. Jenkins would probably also benefit from the company of a female of his own species - not for breeding purposes, but for companionship.


 

Pockets Warhol

white-capped capuchin

Birth date: 1992-04-01
Arrival date: Fall 2009

More information
close
  • Previous home details:  Pockets was a well-loved and well-cared-for pet in British Columbia. He had generous space, a good diet, access to TV and even a pet guinea pig! His owner searched for a safe environment for Pockets' retirement, and located SBFPS. She brought Pockets to the sanctuary, saw him safely settled in his new home and keeps in regular contact with us.
  • Condition upon arrival:  Pockets was in very good condition upon arrival - it did not take long for him to settle in to his new home.
  • Progress: Pockets continues to be an active and expressive resident. He has become well known as a painter, having had several shows and sold many canvases. He is quick, always on the move...and very smart!
  • Personality: Pockets will take advantage of any mistake that a human might make - so his enclosure has to be well secured...if he can figure out how to open the door, he will. He loves to play, especially playing ball and painting.
  • Favourite Activity: Painting (he is famous as Pockets Warhol and his paintings are available on-line!), playing ball and doing anything that uses his hands.
  • Favourite Foods: Cashews.  Pockets loves all the fruits that appear in his dinner. And he likes the occasional gummy bear too!
  • Wishlist from staff: More painting supplies - big canvases, non-toxic kids' paint, small soft quilts.
