Charlie, a brown Capuchin monkey, spent the early years of his life as a family pet before arriving at Popcorn Park in 2018. Though he was loved and well cared for, monkeys are complex, intelligent animals that require specialized care, and his family could no longer meet his needs. Thankfully, Charlie found a forever home with us, where he can live in an environment suited to his natural behaviors and instincts.

Adjusting to his new surroundings was a bit overwhelming at first, but Charlie quickly came out of his shell. He formed close bonds with his caretakers and enjoys the company of Pixie, his neighbor. His sweet and curious personality shines through in everything he does, making him a favorite among staff and visitors alike. He is incredibly expressive, often flashing a charming smile to familiar faces, and his playful nature keeps everyone entertained. Whether he’s exploring his enclosure, interacting with enrichment toys, or engaging in his daily routine, Charlie is always keeping busy and finding new ways to enjoy his surroundings.
