Lilly the monkey escaped from their home after a break-in back in 2020 and went missing. The woman located her and was notified that she isn't allowed to have the animal in her home.
You may recall, that Lilly the monkey escaped from home during a robbery in 2020, she was later found and taken by Galveston officials.A woman is asking and hoping that the city of Galveston would allow her to choose a home for her former pet monkey that she and her son bought while on vacation.
Lilly is a 4-year-old capuchin monkey Leigh Kuchera bought for her son after he was going through a rough patch. "I took him out of the country to Honduras on a vacation to try to regroup," said Kuchera. "He met capuchin monkeys and absolutely fell in love with them. And he said, 'can we please get one.'"she escaped from their Galveston homeKuchera told ABC13 that was when she found out it was not legal to house the animal on the island. "We located her later that night and found out it wasn't legal to have her here," she said.
Lilly returned to Galveston for three days in July as a temporary refuge while arrangements were being made to get her to Huntsville, and that's when she said animal control forced their way into her home and took the primate.The City of Galveston said in a statement that the primate is still in their care at Moody Gardens."The Animal Services division has remained willing to consider placement options from Ms.
And while Galveston says they have a place for Lilly at a ranch in Murchison Texas, her owner says she wants to choose where her beloved primate ultimately ends up due to the complexities of capuchin monkeys."They require that if they've been raised by humans. They're like human babies."A court hearing related to this decision is scheduled for Aug. 10, but Kuchera said she hopes it doesn't need to get to that point.
