In Zimbabwe, one little orphaned monkey lives his life completely epitomizing boundless love.

Little Horace, unfortunately, lost his birth mother when he was very young.


Scared and alone, he arrived at the Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary. Upon his arrival, the sanctuary was a bit short-staffed.

Without enough personnel to devote individual rehabilitation experts to each rescued species, the team decided to raise all of its newly rescued orphans together. In the process, these orphaned animals grew to completely love one another, even though some were cats, some monkeys, some dogs, and so on.

The bonds this particular group of mismatched animals formed early on at the sanctuary have carried on unshaken, even as new animals of each of their particular species have since arrived at the facility.


Horace and his amazing friends love to cuddle with one another and venture out, exploring the local terrain.
