Gibbons that need a little more TLC
We are thankful for all our Gibbon Guardians but we still need more support. Please read a little about our high priority gibbons and consider becoming a monthly donor. The Gibbon Center Spends about $12,000 a year on medical costs. This includes medicine & test for gibbons with ongoing issues as well as unexpected illnesses or injuries. To continue to provide this ongoing care we need to bring in a steady stream of
$1,000 a month currently this fund raises $200 each month.

SHELBY
Shelby is a handsome gibbon with a very strong personality. Currently Shelby is keeping the staff busy figuring out new ways to medicate him. He was diagnosed with diabetes and arthritis. He is taking medication for his diabetes. His arthritis required immediate surgery and provided a tremendous relief. While generally easy going, he lets us know the second we do something he doesn’t approve of, with either a swat or a kick followed by an intense stare.

VIOLET
Violet is our poster child for unexpected accidents. She has been in the hospital several times for different reasons starting at a couple years old. We are adding her here to acknowledge that sometimes accidents happen no matter how much we prepare.
