I’m afraid that I don’t know where there are any capuchin monkeys available for adoption inexpensively, but I’ll be happy to do what I can to help.
First, HERE’S A LINK TO A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN CONTACT BREEDERS WHO MAY HAVE WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR.
The disadvantage of going this route is that the ones you could obtain from these sources are likely to be quite expensive, and you say that your finances are limited at present. Perhaps you might be able to start saving up and looking for ways to make extra money, though.
In the meantime,
HERE’S A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN PUT FREE CLASSIFIED ADS ONLINE FOR EXOTIC PETS.
I checked the listings, and some people are asking for capuchin monkeys, so if you get your ad in there, maybe someone who needs to find a home for a capuchin will find it!
Also, I’d ask that if other readers have good leads on where the reader might be able to find a capuchin in need of adoption to either use the combox or e-mail me (I have additional contact information for the reader that is not included in the above).
Thanks, and good luck!
NOTE FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR WITH CAPUCHIN MONKEYS: They’re very intelligent creatures that can even be taught how economics works.
I’m not kidding.
Perhaps even more impressive than their economic sense (certainly more useful), the monkeys can also be trained to assist quadriplegics with household tasks. I recently learned of this fascinating organization from a friend:
http://www.helpinghandsmonkeys.org/
This reminds me of a letter written to Miss Manners by a bride-to-be on the question of how to delicately inform a guest that he would not be allowed to bring his helper-monkey-in-training to her wedding for the purposes of acclimating the monkey to different social situations. Miss Manners suggested the same approach as when one wishes to exclude children from a wedding – “While I’m sure *your* monkey would behave like a perfect angel, I can’t be certain of how the other guests’ monkeys might behave, so we won’t be able to have any monkeys in attendance.”
Best of luck to your reader!
Have you thought about fostering a capuchin for Helping Hands? They are placed with you free of charge.
I feel for you, I couldn’t imagine my life with out my little black capped capuchin, he is a wonderful companion, I wish you the best of luck in getting another one. Just Keep Looking.
if you kindly reply to me then i will surely arrange your problem. contact me trough my email
Thanks
