SPARTN is Growing & Expanding For More Residents

In late 2020, the vision for SPARTN was born… it was and is a small beginning. Just a handful of animals in need in our home. For nearly 5 years we have worked to utilize every square inch of our home to continue to adapt and care for the animals that come our way. But, we reached our absolute limit, and it’s time to grow.

We are preparing for more resident monkeys to join over the coming 6 weeks. These additional animals, along with many others we know will be joining in the future, mean we need to continue to expand enclosures.

We are about to begin the build out for an additional 30x32ft section for the Spider Monkeys. Plus, another 15x15ft ourdoor portion for the Macaques. There is also a need to build a new outdoor set up for the Marmosets. Along with the outdoor expansions, we also need to upgrade the drainage tracks for on going cleaning and hygiene. We are upgrading the insulation, and water sealing all of the interior spaces as well. All of these upgrades are much needed and a great bonus for all of the monkeys at SPARTN. It is costly, but that is the reality of the mission of SPARTN

And, we cannot do this on our own!

Here are the current and essential needs for which we need support.

1. We need $3200 to finish the outdoor enclosure construction for all of the species.

2. We need $700 for the upgrade to the insulation and walls in the main monkey building.

3. We need $650 to upgrade the well pressure tank to a 119 gallon tank to help provide a constant running water supply for all of the animals at SPARTN.

4. Need $300 for a larger prep sink and table in the monkey building for daily food prep and basic exam/medical care for all of the animals.

Additional Larger Items We need Long term

1. One of the greatest needs is a $7900 for a 26kW generator as backup power for the property to ensure there is always heating and cooling for the safety and wellbeing being of our animal residents.

2. Finally we need $950 to install 2 propane back up heaters in the animal spaces. The property is on natural gas with a large filled tank onsite. And these heaters will be connected to the primary source and always available.

This brings the total current need to $13,700 that will help SPARTN and its residents be truly safe and secure. But, the most urgent need is $4,850 as quickly as possible.
