Nonhuman Primate Guardian

Help make your monkey’s transition to a new home a little easier by filling out a “Pet Guardian” information sheet and make sure your family is aware of the plans you have made for your monkey.

You should also fill out a “Primate Profile” which will provide a lot of details about your monkey that may help the new owner/guardian or even a family member caring for the monkey know things about your monkey that may help make the transition without you a little easier.

If you have been unable to pre-establish who will take custody of your monkey in the event of your untimely death, you may wish to list phone numbers for the SSA Placement Chairman who can assist your family with finding a home for your monkey.

======================================================================================

In the event of my severe illness or death, I have made arrangements with the following guardian to care for my nonhuman primate(s). Please contact them at once, as my nonhuman primate(s) will need to be cared for immediately.
