Ex-Pet
Bug Hunting Ray Catcher
Kiefer the marmoset unexpectedly arrived at Jungle Friends on April 4, 2015, after a rough start in life. He was discovered by a cleaning crew in a South Florida apartment, left behind by former tenants and alone for several days without food or water. Thankfully, he was rescued just in time and brought straight to the sanctuary, where his life took a dramatic turn for the better.
Today, Kiefer is thriving-and keeping everyone on their toes! He's full of energy and attitude, often found perched in his enclosure watching his monkey neighbors with great interest... and the occasional playful threat, just to remind them who's the boss. He's also a curious little bug-hunter, always keeping a close eye out for any tasty snacks that might wander into his habitat. At feeding time, Kiefer scours his food bowl for his favorite foods, grapes and Cheerios, and lets out an excited chirp once he's finally found one! From a rough beginning to a life filled with love, play, and purpose, Kiefer has truly flourished at Jungle Friends. His story is a reminder of just how far a little care-and a lot of personality-can go.
Kiefer's spirit doppelgänger is Robinson Crusoe from the classic adventure novel. Like Crusoe, Kiefer was left stranded and alone, but through resilience, he found a new life filled with discovery and adventure. Now thriving in his sanctuary, much like Crusoe on his island, Kiefer has built a life full of companionship and exploration.
From abandoned to adored—Kiefer's happy and thriving, surrounded by love and sunshine.
Exploring every corner of his world, Kiefer is proof that second chances can lead to joy.
A peaceful afternoon for Kiefer, who’s found comfort and companionship in his new home.
