Yes! I would like to Gift Aid my donation and all donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years to Wild Futures.

About Coco and Kiki
Coco and Kiki were
rescued together having been kept as pets for a number of years. They arrived at the
Monkey Sanctuary in March 2017; making them the first marmosets to ever be given a forever home
by Wild Futures! Coco was born in 2015, specifically to be sold into the primate pet trade. He was kept alone for
the first year of his life before his owners bought Kiki to keep him company. Because
of this time spent alone, Coco is not as confident as Kiki and doesn’t always
handle social situations correctly, but Kiki is there to give him a firm telling off
if he steps out of line!
Coco
is the quieter one of the pair, often watching Kiki take the first steps in
trying something new. He has a very sweet nature, but will protect his friend whenever he feels threatened. Kiki is very much the leader of the pair, and in her
opinion, the leader of all the monkeys at the sanctuary! Her confidence grew by the day and she is always
eager to explore new things. Coco and Kiki love spending time together playing
and wrestling, as well as sleeping curled up together in the sunshine!
Adopting Coco and Kiki means that you are helping to provide the resources needed to give Coco and Kiki the best life possible. Your adoption also enables Wild Futures to continue its vital work campaigning for an end to the primate pet trade in the UK and abroad.
PLEASE NOTE: Our adoptions are purely symbolic and are a great way to support our sanctuary, where the monkeys shown on our website (who have been rescued from traumatic lives as peoples pets) have a home for life.
