This juvenile Vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) was found after his mom died after being hit by a car. Members of the public rescued him from this scene, and he was subsequently brought to us. We examined him upon admission and treated him for dehydration.

He has been transferred to a permitted primate specialist rehabilitation centre, where he will be introduced to other vervets which will be formed into a viable troop. The troop will eventually be released, to live as wild vervets should.

Our thanks to permitted volunteer, Lauren Beckley, for her time and dedication she gave to this vervet and for ensuring he arrived safely at the next step in his rehabilitation journey.

We treat indigenous animals free of charge, relying solely on the donations and support of our community.

We are currently fighting hard for the survival of this newly born vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus).

We collected him from SPCA Carletonville after he was found next to his dead mom. With the umbilical cord still attached, he was newly born and highly compromised, still covered in blood. His prognosis is guarded and we are doing everything we can to ensure his survival.

Our thanks to the Carletonville SPCA and inspector Bokkie for their assistance and for collaborating with us as well as primary carer for this vervet, permitted volunteer, Lauren Beckley.
