🐒 Meet Sarah Orphan #23 🌿💔
This little fighter has already been through so much. Sarah, just around 8 weeks old, lost her mother to the bushmeat trade near the borders of Mozambique. She was kept with humans since 6th Jan, before making the long, three-week journey to us at VMF. The couple that found her knew this was the place she had to come and made a mammoth journey to get her to us. They went out of their way to make sure the 2nd chance she got was the right one. We are grateful for their kindness 🩷
She’s tiny for her age—only 383g—but she’s a survivor. Her little crown is already coming in, she’s very quiet but she’s already settling into her new home.
She came with a teat dummy which she was very attached to but 2 days here and she’s already ok without it.
Sarah has a long road ahead, but she’s safe now.
Every Monkey Matters 🐵
From the tiniest orphan to the wisest elder, every monkey at VMF depends on the love and generosity of our supporters. Your donations help us provide food, medical care, and a safe home for these incredible animals. 🌿🍼

⚠️ Warning: Graphic Images Ahead ⚠️ This post contains images of an injured monkey following electrocution. While difficult to see, it’s important to raise awareness about the dangers of exposed power lines and the impact they have on wildlife. Viewer discretion is advised.
✨ One month ago, Athena was brought to us after suffering a severe electrocution. The odds were against her, and saving her life meant making the difficult decision to amputate. But if there’s one thing we know, it’s that amputee monkeys can thrive—just look at Shallan, who defied all expectations and was successfully released back to the wild, where she still thrives today.
Athena is fierce, sassy, and full of fight. Her journey isn’t over yet, but we have every reason to believe she, too, will return to the wild when the time is right. For now, we continue to care for her, watching her strength shine through each day. Keep cheering for our warrior girl! ❤️🐒

Lazy Sundays done right. Seeing sweet little Indie stretched out asleep like this shows us just how much he feels safe, loved, and completely at peace ❤️ it’s all we ever want for him and every orphan and monkey that finds their way to us. A sanctuary, a 2nd chance 🐒✨

🐒 Shelby UPDATE 🐒
Little Shelby is thriving in Neverland! 🌟 She’s officially off the Royal Canin bottle and now confidently drinking from her PetAg like a champ! 🍼💪
When she first arrived she sipped little but often, but now she’s drinking with no hesitation. She loves to nap and sometimes straight after she’s had a big feed.
This progress means that once her ringworm clears, she’ll be ready for the next big step in her journey… Disneyland and will get to meet some new friends! 🎢 💛

🚨 New Orphan🚨
🐒 Meet Shelby (#22), our newest little fighter! 💪 This sprightly girlie weighing at 501 grams came to us from the SPCA in Johannesburg, and while her past is a mystery, her future is looking bright! ✨ At just 4-5 weeks old, she’s already full of energy (and teeth! 😆).
For now, Shelby will be spending some extra time in quarantine as we treat her ringworm—our top priority is keeping everyone safe and healthy. But she’s getting all the love, care, and playtime she needs until she’s ready (and clear) to meet a mummy! 💕
Send some love to our tiny new orphan as she settles into her new adventure! 🐾💛
