Fast Tony was part of a group of capuchins rescued from a defunct roadside zoo, where he lived with two dozen others, including a nursing mother and her infant. Initially, the rescue seemed straightforward to the Jungle Friends team. However, complications arose when the clan arrived at the sanctuary, and unexpectedly, three monkeys gave birth despite assurances that all the males had been vasectomized. As a result, Fast Tony and the other males were moved to a separate bachelor group for vasectomy procedures.

Today, Fast Tony enjoys life with Cindy, one of the surprise babies born after the rescue. The two have formed a close bond and thrive in each other’s company, sharing their days swinging from trees, foraging, and engaging in playful antics. Fast Tony's lively spirit and Cindy’s sweet nature make them a dynamic duo, content and happy in their new home.
