You may choose to adopt a macaque, vervet, or baboon — each of whom has his or her own Welcome Kit complete with biography, full-color photo, certificate of adoption, and the semi-annual newsletter, The Primate Post.

Your adoption donation is tax-deductible to the full extent of the law, and we will provide you with a receipt for your records. Just let us know your adoption is a gift, and we can send the welcome kit directly to your recipient's door.
