Willis he Vervet Monkey

Adopt Willis!

Willis started off life as pet in a private home, a situation that stifled his natural instincts and behaviors. Now, he’s at the Born Free USA primate sanctuary, where he now has a home for life. You can be part of his incredible recovery by adopting him!


Meet Willis

Willis was kept illegally as a pet for the first three years of his life. In late 2021, Willis was confiscated by Chicago authorities and transported to the Born Free USA primate sanctuary…


Adopt Willis

Give Willis a brighter future by adopting him!

Monkey adoption comes with an adoption package, which includes a photo of the monkey – or monkeys – you adopted, the animal’s biography, a certificate of adoption, and a plush toy. The plush toy features a design without plastic eyes, noses, beads, or whiskers and the plush and fill are made from 100% recycled material!

You can also maximize your donation by foregoing the adoption package by selecting the Virtual Adoption option. Adopters and gift recipients also receive updates about the monkeys.
