Coco and Bea have arrived safely at the sanctuary!!! You will remember that they were living with Tom for more than twenty years in a private residence in the North of Spain. Their current owner bought them from a local circus.
Coco and Bea went outside yesterday. Bea was very happy and came in at bed time but Coco decided she wanted to stay outside so we provided her with lots of blankets to keep her warm. More news will follow shortly!

We would like to thank you for your contribution for the chimps’ new heating system. Thanks to you, we have already reached 12, 000 euros!!! We have no words to describe how grateful we are for your generosity, especially in these difficult times. We would like to make a special mention of Mr & Mrs Starostik from Curitiba Primate Sanctuary, in Brasil. They have donated 5,000 euros to contribute with the new heating system. Both are in their 80's, they also take care of abused chimps in their country. Thanks to Sandra Haluche (also from Curitiba) , who completed 6 months training at MONA and for taking our project overseas.

The good news is that we have rescued a 14 years old female barbary macaque called Fez. She was living alone in a cage at the terrace of a private owner in Torroella de Montgrí (Girona, Spain). Neighbours reported this situation some years ago to various animal welfare organizations. Unfortunately we are not in position to take in a new macaque at the moment so together with FAADA we have organised that she will live with a small group of macaques at the "Wildlife care centre Karpín-Abentura” at Bilbao. Ats you may remember his is not the first time that Karpín, FAADA and MONA have worked together. We worked Karpin to rescue of Chafi, back in 2010, a macaque that used to live in the hole of a wall of a barbecue on a balcony. Fez's rescue has been particularly complicated. Two years ago Stichting AAP offered to rescue and transfer this animal to their rehabilitation center in the Netherlands. FAAD helped by making an on-the-spot assessment of the situation and their wild fauna staff convinced the owner to voluntarily give up Fez. But due to the delay of the administration to provide permission for the transfer to the Dutch center, Fez's destination will be finally Northern Spain. Fez is a currently living at MONA's but we will soon have the results for her checkup, that took place wih the collaboration of the Veterinary Hospital el Vellmarí (Lloret de Mar) and then she will be transferred to Karpín. We are very happy that Fez will finally be tliving for the rest of her life with her next of kin, finally in a social group.
