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 Gucci
Name: Gucci
Species: Capuchin
Who is she? The Trouble Maker
Special skills: Being everyone's favourite!
Gucci arrived at the sanctuary in 2011, with two other monkeys. It is evident
that she was born into the UK primate pet trade at a private breeders ‘facility’
Due to having been deprived of a natural social
life in her younger and impressionable years, Gucci can be an introverted character. She initially struggled to
socialise with the other monkeys, but is now an integral member of our weeper capuchin group! She particularly loves new enrichment and despite, her
insecurities, her social skills have improved and she often plays games with
her friend, Chanel. Gucci is a real character at the sanctuary and has overcome many hardships in her life!
Primates are intelligent and sociable animals and being kept as pets is a lonely, under-stimulating existence that can lead to abnormal behaviours. These behaviours may remain with the monkeys for the rest of their lives, but with enough environmental stimulation, social company, and lots of territory space with access to branches and trees, we can help these monkeys recover and offer them a stable, stimulating, and social life at the Sanctuary.
Adopting Gucci means that you are helping to provide the resources needed to give Gucci 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, which means you will not receive any real animals in the post! Monkeys are wild animals – not domesticated pets.
