Adopt Kiwi
Using Gift Aid means that for every pound you give, we get an extra 25 pence from the Inland Revenue, helping your donation go further.
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. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference. I will notify Wild Futures of any changes to my name or address, or if I no longer pay sufficient tax or wish to cancel this declaration.
Adopting
Adopting a monkey with Wild Futures really is a gift with a difference. Whether it’s a gift for yourself or another, you will be supporting the vital work of our charity and enabling us to protect primates and their habitats worldwide. The monkeys featured in the symbolic adoption scheme reside at Wild Futures’ The Monkey Sanctuary in Cornwall, UK, where they all have a home for life. Adopters become part of a proud, extended family of supporters who are a part of each individual’s lives through visits, updates and photos. We are committed to giving the monkeys we have rescued the most natural life possible, amongst company of their own kind in species specific territories. The generous contributions from adopters help us to help them recover from the mental and physical trauma they have suffered in their former lives as someone’s pet, and simply learn how to just be a monkey. Each monkey is unique with their own stories and personalities, so please do spend some time reading through their profiles.
International adoption packs will be sent digitally, direct to your inbox. If you would like a physical pack, please email [email protected] to discuss options.
As an adopter, you will receive:
- A personalised certificate of your adoption
- A photo of your adopted monkey
- Your adopted monkey’s story
- Species factsheet
- Wild Futures newsletters twice a year (sent digitally or physically)
- Discounted entry fee into The Monkey Sanctuary
- A cuddly monkey toy (optional and for physical packs only)

Kiwi arrived at The Monkey Sanctuary in 2010 along with two other monkeys, including her mother, Gizzie. The small group had been kept as pets in a breezeblock outbuilding for many years. The relentlessly cold and damp conditions had left her with painful arthritis and she was very underweight. However, with specialist care, her health has improved dramatically and she is now thriving.
Her new surroundings allowed her natural behaviours to blossom. She loves involving herself in the politics of neighbouring monkey groups and can often be found shouting support (or abuse!) across the enclosures!
Kiwi has a very strong bond with the other monkeys in her group, and, thankfully, she doesn't really care for human interaction - unless there is a chance of a grape! Kiwi has overcome a lot, and is lucky amongst ex-pet primates to have spent her life alongside her mother - infants are usually forcibly removed from their mothers. She is a friendly and outgoing monkey who loves making new friends to play with!
