Jeffrey Junior

$100.00 / year

Jeffrey Junior was only seven months old when he was brought to OFI’s Care Centre by police who had confiscated him from people keeping him as a pet. We do not know exactly what had happened to him, but it’s clear he had been through a lot in his little life.

Weighing in at just 3.5 kilos upon his arrival, Jeffrey was severely traumatised and suffered several seizures a day during his first weeks. One day the seizures got so bad that Jeffrey lost his heartbeat and we were not sure if he would make it. But little Jeffrey is a fighter and he was not ready to give up! The medical team took care of him around the clock throughout his first few weeks at the Care Centre. Finally, the seizures declined in frequency and Jeffrey started to gain weight.

The wild calls to Jeffrey Jr. If he’s not playing in the Infant Playground or splashing in muddy pools, he is ensconced in the surrounding canopy of the Learning Forest. He grabs life by the horns and runs with it, straight into the trees, climbing the highest trees without hesitation! No tree is too tall for this little thrill seeker! He doesn’t just climb, he soars, never looking back, happily whiling away the day. It is often a full-time job trying to keep track of this energetic young livewire.
