Adopt An Ape
Caring for one of our apes costs over $30,000 a year. By symbolically adopting the ape of your choice for a one-time donation of $300 or $400, you are helping ensure your orangutan or chimpanzee's health, safety, and well-being. Your donation will go toward the basic items your ape needs, such as food, medical care, habitat maintenance, and enrichment activities vital to these intelligent and sensitive individuals.

Thank you for being a part of our adoptive parent family!
All virtual visits are subject to the sanctuary's and the apes' schedules. Not every ape's personality will allow for a live virtual visit. In some instances, a prerecorded session may be needed. Virtual Visits are scheduled by appointment only.
The exclusive Private Adoption Tours allow you to get up close and personal with our remarkable apes, guided by our knowledgeable staff and volunteers. All private tours are scheduled during our tour season, which runs from September through May, and are offered on Thursdays, Fridays, or Saturdays based on availability. Tours last approximately two hours.
**Virtual visits and private tours are valid for one year from the initial donation date.
