All combined, the Fauna Foundation chimps survived approximately 250 years in biomedical research. The subjects of everything from liver biopsies to experimental HIV drugs, Sue Ellen, Binky, Tom and the rest have spent the majority of their lives in pain and isolation. We believe this is our opportunity to complete the circle of giving and provide care for these special individuals in their much-deserved retirement.

By purchasing an adoption kit, you play an important role in the chimps' ongoing recovery. Chimpanzees in captivity can become bored and restless if their environment does not change. To keep the chimps mentally stimulated we must continually expand and enhance their enclosures and provide enrichment packages for them to explore. Proceeds from Adopt-a-Chimp will go directly to this important work.

For an affordable, one-time fee of $55 (includes shipping and handling), you can select a sanctuary chimp and receive a beautiful adoption package on that particular individual, complete with an informative biography and personalized adoption certificate. An ideal gift for that hard-to-shop for friend or family member, or even just for you, an Adopt-a-Chimp package is a truly unique gift that symbolizes the spirit of giving.

Now you can learn about the adoption kit or go ahead and meet the chimps!
