A New Baby Vervet Monkey!
Horace’s mother died when he was young in a terrible car accident on a major highway. Since then, he hasn’t been able to physically interact with any other monkeys. That was about to change, though. The people who work at the sanctuary found a newborn vervet monkey who needed a new home, so they decided to take him in. Vervets are known to be very territorial, so the other vervets were worried that Horace might not welcome the newcomer.

They didn’t have to worry about anything, though, because Horace was moved by the cute baby monkey they named Hamish and gave him the warmest welcome he could.
Giving Hamish A Warm Welcome
When Hamish arrived at the sanctuary, Horace quickly became Hamish’s mentor and guided him through the process of adjusting to life there. For him, being a young monkey in a new environment had just been a few years ago, and he wanted Hamish to have the same opportunity.

The new monkey quickly made friends with the other animals in the enclosure, just as Horace had done. A limited time was required to finish the work. After being abandoned, not one, but two lovely monkeys were able to find new homes at the shelter. They were relieved to be able to play and run about with the other animals who had been treated since this was one of their favorite pastimes.
