Ex-Pet
Exuberant Nurturer
Thyroid Condition
Christopher, originally from North Carolina, needed a new home after his guardians could no longer care for him. He had spent the first ten years of his life with his biological sister, who sadly passed away from cancer, leaving him without the companionship of other monkeys for five long years.
To ensure he received the companionship and well-being he deserved, his previous owner contacted Jungle Friends. Upon his arrival, Christopher's empathetic and charismatic nature quickly endeared him to the other monkeys. Before long, he formed a bond with Macy. This exuberant nurturer now spends his days closely with Macy, engaging in extensive grooming sessions that meet her high standards and deepen their connection. Together, they delight in their expansive habitat—exploring, foraging, and energetically swinging from buckets to barrels, fully embracing their vibrant sanctuary life with enthusiasm and affection.
Both Christopher and his Spirit Doppelnager, Jonathan Van Ness, possess an empathetic and charismatic nature that endears them to others. Christopher's ability to quickly bond with the other monkeys at Jungle Friends mirrors Jonathan's natural talent for connecting with people and animals. Additionally, both share a love for grooming—Christopher through his meticulous care for Macy, and Jonathan through his expertise and passion as a hairdresser.
Meet Christopher, whose soulful eyes tell a story of love, loss, and new beginnings.
Thoughtful and gentle, Christopher's empathetic nature has made him a beloved member of the Jungle Friends family.
