Mother's Day is just around the corner and we have so much to be excited about here at the sanctuary. Twenty-nine-year-old Jill will soon be reunited with her son, 17-year-old Arthur!

Though we don't know all the details of their relationship, we know that they were separated for years in the lab and may have been separated at or soon after Arthur's birth.

Jill and Arthur will soon have the chance to meet!

We don't know what to expect and realize that they may not know one another as mother and son, but we can't wait to see their reaction!

Our chimpanzee care team is carefully introducing Marlon's group of six males (including Arthur) to Jurita's group of ten females (including Jill) in Chimps Ahoy Villa. Soon, it will be Jill and Arthur's turn to be in the same room together. Will they recognize one another? Will they play? Or will they ignore one another?

We don't know, but what a special Mother's Day reunion this may be! 

Moments like this are made possible with your support, so we hope you'll consider sponsoring a chimp or sending a Project Chimps gift for Mother's Day, upcoming graduations or summer celebrations.

Our new Project Chimps notecards and baby onesies make great gifts too. Simply scroll down to see some of our great gift options below.

You'll be giving a gift with meaning - one that helps provide a new life for a former research chimpanzee.
