Cosmo's journey to Jungle Friends sanctuary was marked with heartfelt moments and a bittersweet farewell. For over 14 years, Cosmo's guardian had been his constant companion. However, life’s unpredictable twists necessitated a stable, uninterrupted home where Cosmo could truly thrive—a sanctuary designed for his well-being. While their bond was profound, the truth remained that humans, no matter how loving, cannot fully replace the companionship that monkeys find among their own kind.

At Jungle Friends, Cosmo is one of several monkeys with diabetes, and his condition is carefully managed through a specialized diet. Despite the challenges of his health, Cosmo's friendly nature remains undiminished. He is a beacon of good spirits, eagerly seeking interaction and forming meaningful connections within his new monkey community. Cosmo's ability to adapt and flourish, finding friendship and camaraderie among his peers, highlights the resilience and enduring charm that define his character.
