ELLA (Capuchin)

Ella was sold as a pet at an early age and was kept in the family washroom in a small cage. PAWS found out about her and gave her a proper home. Ella spends her time playing and enjoying her companion, Jacques.

FERGUSON (Macaque)

Ferguson, a macaque primate, was literally dropped at PAWS's doorstep by his owner who was keeping him illegally and feared repercusssions. After leaving him in a cat carrier in a PAWS's neighor's driveway, Ferguson's owner called from a pay phone to alert PAWS staff and then explained she had purchased him for $6,000 from an animal breeder in Nevada.

Ferguson currently enjoys a spacious habitat at the PAWS Sanctuary in Galt. Ferguson is often observed sitting on his boomer ball or jumping from his ledges into his hammock and rolling around and playing.

JACQUES (Capuchin Monkey)

Purchased from a breeder by individuals as a pet, Jacques was later brought to a veterinarian to be castrated. His owners never reclaimed him. PAWS was delighted to take him and provide Ella with another Capuchin Monkey as a companion.
