Dear Friend,
Koko was beyond excited when she realized that she would be getting a visit from a litter of kittens for
her birthday. What she didn�t know at the time was that she would be keeping not one, but two of these sibling kittens as her new companions! Koko instantly fell in love with a little gray kitten while a little
black and gold one fell in love with her.
With your help, we can transform this life-changing experience for Koko into a life-changing experience for all great apes!
With Koko�s new kitten adoptions, she couldn't be happier (she is signing more than ever) and there is a wonderful
opportunity for a sequel to the original classic story of Koko's Kitten. We are demonstrating that Koko�s empathy for other
species is ongoing, just as our empathy for gorillas must be too! This updated adventure has the power to change the world once again for great apes — to convert more poachers to protectors and inspire more conservationists!
These adorable kitties have changed Koko�s life and are adding new focus
to our mission to save the great apes. Her new extended �family� is energizing
Koko and providing a window of opportunity for us to make
significant gains in all of our mission-critical projects — with your support!
Here�s how your support can help change the world for
great apes:
| • |
Koko’s enhanced emotional life will enable us to accelerate our Gorilla Emotional
Awareness Research Study (GEARS). |
| • |
This experience can form the basis
for a multimedia sequel to the original book Koko’s Kitten to spur conservation. |
| • |
Koko's new kittens can enrich the development of our new Koko Signing App and expand global distribution. |
| • |
These kittens allow Koko to demonstrate her maternal capabilities, showing that she can raise a gorilla baby — and foster an ambassador for the next generation! |
|
 |
There is exciting work ahead of us with many benefits to Koko and her species.
You can help us maximize these new opportunities and make a safer, kinder and better world for all great apes with
your generous gift today!
| Thank you so much! |
