Our goal is to help the humanized monkeys slowly become what God created them to be. Each Primate will transition as they are comfortable doing so. Some may take longer than others, but the end goal is the same. To help them become dependent on their own species within a troop and to enjoy the rest of their lives enjoying nature and playing in the trees. Trying to give them a healthy mix of human/monkey interactions & relationships.
Our cat, Mini, gets along with Louie very well. We're not sure who taught who to climb trees. Sometimes we are convinced that she thinks she's a monkey!
Just a monkey doing what God created them to do! Enjoying another day at the Sanctuary. We are now taking Spider Monkey Re-homes. Feel free to contact us today (228)365-6578 We can travel to pick up.
The Spider Octagon outdoor enclosure has many ropes and toys. Swings, climbing structures, tall perches and many ropes to swing on. Great sun exposure for natural vitamin D and exercise.
Louie plays in the Octagon Spider enclosure as much as possible! He's to the point that he just wants to be outside in 'his area' and diaper free. This is a great transition for this humanized Primate. We are still playing and socializing with him, but he's transitioning well into the monkey's own space and out of the human home. He's enjoying just being a monkey.
Dr Askew (also on our Board of Directors), Ensuring all our new residents have the proper diet according to blood work results and all medical needs met. Looking for any unknown injuries so they can be properly treated, teeth examined for any hidden infections and vaccines updated. This ensures their best life!
We love our Kinkajous! We were blessed to be able to provide these beautiful animals with a forever home. We take in Arboreal Animals.
This sweet boy was a re-home pet that could no longer stay at his current place. He was well taken care of and was loved. We're honored his owners chose us to care for him. He will be spending the rest of his golden years with us and we couldn't be happier! He's a handsome sweet boy and we adore him.
Our residents have to trust us. It's a huge responsibility to ensure we maintain a trusting relationship with all of our residents. We want them to remain in a stress free environment and know that they are loved.
Our Mission
Gulf Coast Primate Sanctuary is a USDA Licensed, Non-Profit 501(c)(3) Monkey Sanctuary located in a Peaceful community in South Mississippi. Gulf Coast Primate Sanctuary aims to provide permanent life time care for Monkeys in need. With a specialized care team consisting of two Primate specialized Veterinarians, their medical teams, experienced caregivers and a large group of dedicated Volunteers, we ensure that our residents have the absolute best Medical, Physical and emotional care as possible. These primates include monkeys retired from laboratory research, ex-pets, the entertainment industry, zoos or monkeys who have been confiscated by the authorities. Gulf Coast Primate Sanctuary is also committed to advocacy and education on behalf of all captive non-human primates, and to provide assistance to improve the circumstances of captive primates wherever possible. Monkeys need Monkeys and to be socialized within a Troop. We strive to create the most natural environment as possible outside of the jungle itself for each species of monkey we house in accordance with the USDA and AWA (Animal Welfare Act).

We understand, first hand, how tight a bond is between a monkey and their caregiver. The respect and understanding of this bond is exactly what motivates us to do the absolute best we can to make a transition as stress free as possible for the monkey and caregiver. We want what is best for these beautiful and loved individuals.
