Kiefer the marmoset arrived at Jungle Friends on April 4, 2015, after being found by a cleaning crew in a South Florida apartment, abandoned by the previous tenants. Alone for 2-3 days without food or water, this resilient little monkey was fortunate to be rescued just in time. The cleaners brought him straight to Jungle Friends, where he quickly began his new chapter.

Now, Kiefer is thriving in ways we could have only hoped for. He’s formed a close bond with his new friend Arie, spending his days chasing bugs and soaking up the warmth of the sun. His once uncertain future has been replaced with a life of play, companionship, and peace, where he is fully embracing the happiness and care he now receives. From a rough start to a bright future, Kiefer is truly flourishing.
