Monk Monk was discovered in a birdcage within a hoarding situation that included hundreds of dogs and cats. When her owner suffered a stroke, Jungle Friends intervened, rescuing Monk Monk from her dire conditions. Severely malnourished and deprived of sunlight, she was very tiny and could barely stand or walk due to muscle atrophy.

However, Monk Monk's life took a positive turn at Jungle Friends. With a nutritious diet, an "Almost Wild" habitat, and the companionship of her new monkey friends, she has undergone a remarkable transformation. Today, Monk Monk is unrecognizable—healthy, happy, and thriving.

Initially, she was introduced to Maggie, another white-faced capuchin. Sadly, a few months later, Maggie passed away. Monk Monk then bonded with Charlotte, one of Jungle Friends' co-founders, who had recently lost her sister Samantha to cancer. Sharing similar personalities, Monk Monk and Charlotte now enjoy their days together, playing and exploring their habitat.

Monk Monk's journey from a confined birdcage to a vibrant life at Jungle Friends is a testament to resilience and the power of a nurturing environment.
