| Holly "Holly Beano" Holly had a little "Gas" problem until her diet was corrected at OPR! |
Keiki's ring finger sustained unrepairable damage after his owner hit him
with a stick for stealing one of her cigarettes. He was cyanotic from an
untreated heart condition, he was in shock, and he had a concussion.
Keiki was stabilized, and on April 6th 2002 the ring finger on Keiki's right
hand was amputated. There wasn't a dry eye in the veterinary clinic that
day.
Authorities placed Keiki in protective custody at the OPR facilities
following surgery, where he began recovery from cruel abuse. His heart
condition was further diagnosed and life saving heart medications were
added to his daily routine.
On November 15th 2002 Keiki's owner plead no contest to animal abuse in
the first degree and entered a diversion agreement to avoid prosecution.
Permanent custody of the monkey was awarded to OPR.
Keiki is thriving and enjoying his life at OPR. Many of the neurotic
behaviors Keiki was exhibiting on arrival have virtually disappeared, but
Keiki remains aggressive toward other monkeys. Keiki is such a precious
soul, and is adapting to the loss of his finger. But on occasion he
command's attention to it by holding the disfigured hand up to his
caretakers, as if he wants to make sure they're still aware of his loss.

Holly is a female Java Macaque monkey who joined
OPR at 11 months of age. She spent her entire
young life as an exhibit in a pet store. On arrival,
Holly presented with severe intestinal problems
resulting from inadequate nutrition and a diet of
mainly Taco Bell and McDonald's. She had to be
strictly quarantined for a bacterial infection causing
severe and debilitating diarrhea. After 3 months of
expensive, and time consuming treatments, she
fully recovered. She is now receiving the nutrition
she was deprived of as an infant, and is thriving
with her new Java buddies.
There always has to be a naughty one in the bunch.
Holly is it! Holly learned at a young age how to
'pinch' with impact, and enjoys making scary faces
at OPR visitors. But we love her anyway! :0)

Justin, a Java Macaque monkey came to us at the tender
young age of 6 months. We were his fourth, but final home. On
arrival this little guy had emotional problems including
excessive aggressiveness, abandonment issues, separation
anxiety disorder, and self-mutilating behaviors. His previous
owners were told that he would be a great companion for their
young human children, and that raising a 3 day old monkey was
no different than raising a human baby. The family who
ultimately contacted us for placement was unable to cope with
his aggressive behaviors, and became fearful for the safety of
their human children. In addition they were unable to spend the
amount of time required to provide for his needs. After months
of rehabilitation, Justin’s overly aggressive behavior subsided,
he stopped the self-mutilating behaviors, and now as an adult,
is thriving in his new and permanent environment with his Java
companions.

| Help us take care of Tyler ~~~~~> |
Tyler, a Java Macaque monkey, was
surrendered to the OPR facility in
October 2005. Tyler was purchased as
a pet at only a few days old.
For 5 years Tyler’s owner never
anticipated an event that would cause
her to part with her cherished
companion. As she attempted to
restrain the now adult Tyler who had
become frightened, her hand was bitten
severely, causing permanent disability.
Realizing that a monkey was not a
suitable pet, she relinquished custody of
Tyler to OPR.
Tyler has been successfully paired with
"Kermie" & has a GREAT best friend!

| Help us take care of Kermie~~~~~> |
Kermie is a 17 yr old Java Macaque who was placed with OPR by
his owner as she was unable to keep him. When he arrived he
was profoundly dehydrated & neurotically rocking under a fleece
blanket. I cried as I watched him drift in & out of reality, the worst
case of mental illness I have ever seen in a monkey. After
extensive medical testing Kermie was diagnosed with an array of
diet related health problems which should resolve with adequate
nutrition. But he was also diagnosed with emphysema & possible
early stage lung cancer due to living in a smoke filled
environment. Kermie will be rechecked frequently to monitor his
lungs. We're hoping that the fresh air at OPR will help reverse at
least some of the damage to his lungs, & that he will make a full
recovery. After his quarantine period at OPR, Kermie was placed
in a temporary buddy cage next to Tyler. After a couple weeks he
was introduced into Tyler's area & the two have become best of
friends. Kermie stopped rocking a few months after being paired
with Tyler, and he turns to Tyler for comfort now, instead of using
the blanket. We are thrilled with Kermie's progress.

| Help us take care of Mandy ~~~~> |
Mandy, a Java Macaque monkey was purchased as a 2 week
old infant by a couple in Oregon whose good intentions included
providing lifetime care in an enriched and nurturing
environment. They had "Done their research" and felt certain
they could dedicate the rest of their lives caring for this special
little girl.
Shortly after her arrival they called OPR for advice in feeding as
she was refusing her bottles and was not thriving. In less than 6
weeks it became apparent that Mandy's care was not going to
be easy, and she was surrendered to OPR. On arrival Mandy
was thin, probably due to vomiting after eating. With a new
formula, and smaller feedings at frequent intervals, Mandy
stopped vomiting and with rehabilitation started to thrive.
We were notified a short time later that Mandy’s birth mother
went into an irreversible grieving process from the loss of her
infant and died a few weeks after Mandy was taken from her life.

Xena is a 12 year old female "long haired Spider
Monkey", also called a "White-Bellied" Spider Monkey",
who was surrendered to OPR in mid August 2007. Xena
arrived with diabetes, an astronomically high
cholesterol, & triglycerides of 974, and a grapefruit
sized ovarian cyst. Her cystic ovary weighing in at a
whopping 1-1/2 pounds was removed by a team of OPR
medical specialists shortly after her arrival, which
corrected this very painful condition and saved her life!
The ovary had grown so large that it was affecting the
function of her other internal organs, including her
colon and bowel. A smaller second cystic ovary was
also removed. Xena's teeth had been removed by her
previous owner to prevent her from biting, so Xena will
require ongoing special nutritional consideration. A few
short weeks after arriving at OPR, Xena's blood
glucose & triglyceride levels returned to normal for the
first time in years, according to her previous
veterinarian!
Xena is thriving in her new environment and has such a
sweet disposition. She captures the heart of everyone
who meets her!

Ernie, a Java Macaque monkey, arrived at OPR as an infant weighing only 8
ounces. He was showing significant signs of physical abnormalities, and having
seizures.
After arranging for a team of specialists, and months of expensive testing, it was
discovered that Ernie had a hereditary seizure disorder that he would not outgrow.
He had under developed lungs, a severely under developed liver and a heart that
was enlarged to 4-1/2 times that of a normal healthy monkey. His heart was so
large that it was pressing against his trachea causing yet another problem called
"collapsing trachea" We were informed that Ernie was the product of severe
inbreeding and that he would never reach his first birthday.
Ernie celebrated his eleventh birthday in May 2009! Ernie is not only a miracle, he's
OPR’s ambassador, the ‘peace maker’ amongst the other monkeys, the town
clown, and he helps new rescue monkeys feel at home.

Peanut at the OPR computer
Peanut is a 3 year old female Common Marmoset who
was placed in the care of OPR after being confiscated by
officials from an illegal situation.
Until we can find her a suitable companion, Peanut enjoys
attention from her human caretakers, and loves to visit
with her image in the mirror.
Unlike apes and Old World monkeys, scent is very
important to New World monkeys, especially the
marmosets. A specialized organ in their nasal cavity (a
second nose) called the vomeronasal organ, allows them
to process chemical signals and discern information
about other monkeys. Because of the presence of this
"second nose", scents are very important tools of
communication in the New World monkeys. Common
Marmosets convey from specialized scent glands around
their anus and genitals, their chests, and sometimes
even their cheek areas. Information conveyed by scent
marking includes demarcating home range and
resources within that range, and advertising reproductive
and social status. Hence the nickname, "Lil Stinky".

Noel is a 12 year old Java Macaque who was
surrendered to OPR in December 2007. Her owner
was suffering from age related health problems and
not able to provide proper care. Sixteen of Noel's
front teeth were removed a few years ago when Noel
started biting her owner & she arrived with deep
scarring around her waist & pelvic area.
Noel exhibited neurotic behaviors including rocking
under a blanket, raking the top of her head with her
fingernails, self biting, slapping, and otherwise
punishing herself. Noel is not emotionally stable
enough at this time to pair with another monkey, but
during her 'grooming sessions' with OPR staff, the
abnormal behaviors stop. We have hope that in time
we may be able to find just the right monkey
companion for Noel and that her neurotic behaviors
will diminish.

| Baby George Abducted from the wild! |
George was abducted from the wild at only a few days old, then drugged repeatedly for 2 weeks by his
abductors to keep him sleeping during the long trip from Thailand, through customs, and into the USA.
Dangerous drugs that probably combined with improper type, strength, repeated use, and Georges'
tender young age, caused damage to his neurological system. We don't know if the tremors are
permanent or if George may outgrow the condition in time.
But that was only the beginning of his nightmare. Because George wasn't properly tested before entering
the USA, and could have been carrying any number of viruses, parasites or other conditions that could
potentially affect humans, authorities had no choice but to place Baby George in strict quarantine in a
research facility for 3 months before he could be transferred to the OPR sanctuary. (Or anywhere else for
that matter)
At this tender young age, George should have been cuddling in the security of his mothers arms, suckling
& being groomed, learning skills to help him thrive as an adult, and chasing bull frogs and butterflies with
other babies from his troop. But instead, following his cruel abduction, he spent three months frightened
& alone in an unfamiliar cold steel cage, untouched, no mother to nurse or reassure him, not even a
comforting bottle which he should have been on until at least one year of age.
And now what about George? OPR was awarded full and permanent custody of Baby George. But he can
never go "home". He will have to remain in captivity, in a humans world for the rest of his life. What
happened to his mother? To his aunties, uncles & cousins left behind? His mother along with other troop
members were most likely killed during the abduction process. Troop members will fight to the death
protecting their infants, as would you or I.
There were statements that the abductors 'rescued' George from being eaten by residents of Thailand.
Those who 'eat' monkey would have no interest in an infant weighing only ounces. It would take years for
a baby monkey to gain any substantial size for that unthinkable purpose, and simply not worth the time or
money with so many adults readily available. As long as selfish individuals are willing to pay, poachers will
continue to kill adult parent monkeys to abduct and sell the infants.

Evelyn sat in a parakeet cage sucking her
thumb, Jealously watching the human
infants in her home. She had originally
joined her human family at only a few days
old, and planned on being an 'only child'. She
was nurtured and bottle fed for the first
couple of years. But unexpectedly her
human became pregnant and had a human
child, and then another. Everything changed.
Her oldest human sibling was now 18
months old, and the newest arrival just two
weeks. She was no longer getting her
bottles, or attention the human kids were
getting. She was becoming increasingly
jealous and angry with the human children
for receiving attention she felt belonged to
her. When Evelyn started threatening the
human children her owner became fearful
and placed her with OPR.
This little girl should do really well with other
Javas at our facility. She is adjusting quickly
to her new environment and is already
picking out her favorite new friends.
