Twenty-two monkeys, zero predators, and a 15-acre property — this is basically retirement in Florida, but with better climbing.
22 rescued monkeys now call a veteran-run Mississippi sanctuary home
April Stewart and her husband, both military veterans, opened the Gulf Coast Primate Sanctuary in October 2024 on 15 acres in rural southeast Mississippi. The refuge houses 22 rescued primates — spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and kinkajous — mostly surrendered from the illegal pet trade or confiscated by authorities. The sanctuary runs an Unplugged program where veterans and first responders with PTSD assist with animal care, following USDA and Animal Welfare Act rules. Educational tours are offered to the public.
