Notice to Frisky's Volunteers
Hi! I've received several applicants from those who want to volunteer at Frisky's. Many of you don't realize just how much work there is and how serious I am in getting it done efficiently - even my sons don't help anymore.
It's alot of cleaning - inside and out, but mostly outside and it has to be done no matter if it's freezing outside or if it's pouring rain. Sometimes I think I'm a mud wrestler, especially when the dogs insist on greeting me by jumping up on me.
All dishes, bottles, bedding, floors, cages and kennels need to be cleaned daily. This in turn makes several sink loads of dishes, five loads of laundry, filling six or more large trash cans.
NOTE: All cages and gates have special locks which must be closed and double checked all the time. Some of these animals are seriously hurt or have physical problems and needs they depend totally on our welfare towards them.
Feeding, nursing and cleaning is only part of what you can do for them. If you can be fast, efficient and reliable for no pay - then you are truly a caring and special friend to Frisky's Sanctuary.
REMEMBER: Frisky's is never closed. Anyday between 1 and 5 p.m. Frisky's volunteers can come and help out. We'll always have plenty to do. Do not bring or wear jewelry or anything valuable. Do wear pull over shirts and comfortable pants.
Animals have been known to steal thinking you brought donations. Some of Frisky's volunteers are very helpful by taking our special Frisky's Volunteer ID Card and a notebook of past Newsletters to their local stores and neighbors asking for Donations. Brad and Trouble

ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS
FRISKY'S #1 CHOICE IN VETERINARIANS
March 1998
Dear Friends of Frisky's:
One of the questions we've been asked most often is "Which veterinarian does Frisky's Sanctuary use the most?"
Well, really, we'd love to use them all!
There are several who have done a lot in the way of important and much needed donations, such as medical supplies. For instance, the Columbia Animal Hospital, which takes in public donations of feed, toys, supplies, etc. for the animals of Frisky's Sanctuary. Their staff even delivers the donations to the Frisky's Reservation!
Back to your question... really, what we have now are two very experienced veterinarians. Most important for the Sanctuary critters, they actually come right to Frisky's when they are needed to handle a medical emergency.
One veterinarian is Dr. Mike Cransfield, DVM, who works full-time for the Baltimore Zoo. He has been generous with his time and has helped Frisky's Sanctuary and the sixteen primates who live here. He has handled their regular and complete physicals which include blood work ups. He is also on call for the primates in case of emergencies. We think very highly of Dr. Cransfield but he is not open for public consultations so we cannot recommend him. Frisky's Sanctuary uses Dr. Cransfield for the monkeys' physical exams and for emergencies only.
That brings us to Frisky's other choice. The veterinarian who does so much on a regular basis and who is experienced in exotic and domestic pets is Dr. Earnest Jacques, DVM, of the Howard County Animal Hospital, Inc. (located at 8459 Baltimore National Pike Route 40, behind Dunkin' Donuts) Ellicott City, Maryland 21043).
Dr. Ernest Jacques, D.V.M. - Howard County Animal Hospital
Dr. Jacques's experience means a great deal to Frisky's primates and animals. He has even worked here at Frisky's until the wee hours of the morning with Dr. Cransfield, doing the monkeys' regular and complete physicals. Dr. Jacques has come to the Sanctuary to update shots needed by all the animals. His wife works by his side and has been very helpfiil physically, from holding cats who need to have blood drawn to helping catch some of the shy goats who live at Frisky's and who love to run off whenever they see you!
All veterinarians are needed and Frisky's would love to use them all!
But if you are looking for a veterinarian with experience and fair prices, Frisky's # 1 choice would have to be: Earnest Jacques, D.V.M., Gary N. Holmes, D.V.M. Howard County Animal Hospital, Inc. Brad and Trouble

SPRING AT FRISKY'S
APRIL 1998
When the Lights Went Out...
It was 3 p.m. Saturday, March 21, 1998 and our volunteers were setting up stuff for FRISKY'S ANNUAL GARAGE SALE (Don't Forget to Come!) in the Big Barn at Frisky's Sanctuary when the lights went out!
Our blackout was due to a bad accident down the road from the farm, which took out an electric pole.
All of the animals, and all eighteen monkeys at Frisky's Sanctuary get their dinners served between 4 and 6 p.m. The monkeys get hot dinners that include rice and mixed vegetables and warm formula. The volunteers helped out with the farm animals but cut out at 5 p.m.
Volunteers can help between 1 and 5 p.m. only. One volunteer returned to announce that the accident was really very serious and it looked like we would be without electric for the whole night.
Managers, Colleen Layton and Scott Robins figured they had everything under control. With a big generator in the barn and a wood burning stove in the sanctuary's main building-- wrong! The generator wouldn't start due to sitting without use and a strong wind storm from the day before had loos- ened the chimney from the house. So they couldn't use the wood burning stove for heat or cooking.
So then the rushing around began. Sweet but spoiled monkeys wanted their TV, their warm dinners and their heat! Blankets and pet's fake fur bedding was distributed in abundance.
Transistor radios and flashlights were turned on and set up everywhere.. Ensure, a vitamin drink, was put on all enclosures next to the water drip bottles. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were made for all.
The monkeys were upset-they knew something was wrong. They are used to and like the routine at Frisky's. Manager, Colleen Layton kept going out to the primate houses and checking on them which upset them even more. Usually at 8:30 p.m. she turns down the lights and TV and tells each monkey good night. Sounding like the Waltons because each monkey chatters back to their names, like "good night Bo." (Well it did!)
Then the snow started with big, heavy flakes that were coming down really FAST!
It was midnight and temperatures were dropping. Upon checking on the monkeys, the wall thermometers showed 50 degrees in each building but each monkey was snuggled in blankets and fake furs and all had warm hands and cheeks. Yes-Colleen checked them! (You all know Colleen, and she worries a lot.)
The electric came back on at 2 a.m. Halaluya - thank you Lord and BGE for returning Frisky's Sanctuary back to 'normal?" Colleen collapsed to her bed/sofa till 6 a.m. Assistant Manager Scott Robbins announced in the morning he'd get two spare generators and find somebody to fix the chimney. Brad and Trouble

An interview with Frisky's sanctuary manager, Colleen Layton by Mary Beth Barton (part 1 of 5)
1. How come you can have monkeys and other people can't?
Colleen laughs and says this is the question I am asked most. I personally do not have these monkeys. I believe they have me. I am their maid, waitress, nutritionist, and whipping post. Some of them really can and do become physical with me.They will pull my hair and bite if given the chance. Mostly I am the provider of their care and needs. I do not own them; I have been educated in the care and welfare of them, which is my life. Frisky's is a Sanctuary; the monkeys live here-it is a place of refuge away from mankind.
2. Is it fun working with all the animals?
Yes, sometimes it is fun but mostly it is a lot of worry and responsibility that caring for them brings. It is really a lot of hard work. It does make me smile when they are all happy and p!aying and doing well. Even the llama loves to gallop around the pasture.
3. How long have you been working with them?
It seems as though I have been working and caring for animals most of my life. I have always had pets, but I started Frisky's and saving lives in 1970.
4. What would you say is the most interesting animal you have ever had?
Good question. I would have to say Black Bear cubs, baby Raccoons, Rhesus Macaque monkeys. It was interesting in learning their behavior patterns and nutritional needs. I suppose monkeys are the most interesting, because they get bored very easy, so figuring out ways to keep them occupied is an interesting challenge.
5. How many monkeys have you hand raised like Johnny and Gizmo?
Infant care for monkeys is a twenty four hour job, so it is easy for me to remember how many I have cared for. My first was Gizmo, a male Rhesus Macaque monkey. His mother rejected him at birth. He was my first infant in 1989. My second was Babee, a female Weeper Capuchin monkey. Her mother suffered severe bleeding and had to have a hysterectomy, which left her fighting for her own life and too weak to care for her newborn baby. Then there is Scotty Jr. a male Vervet Guenon monkey. An elderly man who had a colony of Vervets was worried about the welfare of his monkeys if he should die. So he wanted the baby monkey placed at Frisky's Sanctuary as a "lifer" to prevent his sale to a research lab or zoo. Scotty came to us in 1995. Babee and Scotty Jr's birthdays are only ten days apart. I carried them on me for one and a half years. I must say I lost a lot of hair from their constant pulling. And last but not least there is Johnny, a male Weeper Capuchin monkey. Johnny was one of a set of twins. Overwhelming his mother since it was her first time at motherhood, Johnny was also rejected by his mother. As you can see I still carry Johnny on me.Johnny was born on July 6,1997. Brad and Trouble

An interview with Frisky's sanctuary manager, Colleen Layton by Mary Beth Barton (part 2 of 5)
6 Why did you choose to do this kind of work?
I am not sure I did choose this work, and work it is. I think it chose me. When I first started saving wildlife I studied and took classes in Backyard Wildlife and Wildlife Biology. I wanted to make sure that what I was doing would be everything I could possibly do. I found it was very rewarding when I was able to save a life. I also tried to learn why one would die and others lived. Wildlife biology and behaviors are never ending studies. The more lives I became responsible for the more involved I became, and gradually it became my life.
7. How did you get started doing this?
That is another good question. I am also asked this question a lot. A neighbor's dog had invaded a nest of baby bunnies in her back yard. The mother rabbit was badly wounded. My neighbor asked what to do so I started caring for the baby bunnies. I lived close to the railroad tracks, which I loved to hike on. Finding wounded animals was not uncommon. However, helping these animals was part of the common gossip. I was a young wife and mother. My husband was in the Marines for four years. He did two tours of duty in Vietnam. I was raising two sons all alone. So the bunnies, birds, fawns, raccoons and even a baby bear cub were brought into our home. They would be cared for and when able released back into their natural environments and not kept as pets.
8. Who do you get your animals from?
The animals come from farms, yard and tree services, even pool services have bought in squirrels, chipmunks, bunnies, and birds rescued from swimming pools. A large number of wildlife is rescued from the jaws of local dogs and cats. Also out of dumpsters or even off the ground after being knocked out of their tree nests during a gusty storm. Hundreds of baby bunnies come in every year because someone mowing his lawn disturbed their nest.
9. what kinds of animals do you have here, generally?
There are always monkeys. To be exact there are seventeen of them. They are the lifers." They will live here always. There are squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, opossums, and a variety of birds, and of course farm animals such as chickens, ducks, geese, and goats. Then there are domestics such as dogs and cats. We also have exotics, such as ferrets, a llama, turtles and seagulls.
10. Is this a medical facility for rescued wildlife?
That is exactly what Frisky's is-a sanctuary or refuge for them to recover. Not a zoo. It is a peaceable kingdom. It is usually nice and quite, except at feeding time.
11. Have there been any major or fatal fights between the animals?
Yes, we have had fights. Fatal, well I think once with a couple dwarfs white Russian hamsters, but I am not positive about that. Major, they do happen from time to time, but we do have video and sound surveillance, so any fights are broken up quickly. Brad and Trouble

An interview with Frisky's sanctuary manager, Colleen Layton by Mary Beth Barton (part 3 of 5)
12. Why can 't people just come and look around?
Because this is a sanctuary a place for rest. It is not a zoo. It is a medical facility, a place for healing. Most animals need peace and quite with no disruption. Stress can do harm; for instance some monkeys cannot handle a commotion. One of our monkeys is an epileptic, another has cancer, two are diabetics, and two others have liver problems. These are just some of the monkey's problems. Also a lot of the animals and monkeys are very dangerous. Why take the chance--when we live in the land of "I'll sue you."
13. Is there any limit for pet adoptions by one person?
We use to have just one per family, but lately we do more. We have found that some families can provide the love and attention as well as provide for their many needs.
14. Do you feel you can really understand the animal's thoughts and feelings?
Sometimes, yes. I put myself in their place and keeping in mind our five senses, I try to keep life, sounds, smells and foods familiar to each animal. Change upsets all of us, whether it is for better or worse.
15. Just how unpredictable are the animals?
Animals are very unpredictable. That is why we always have to stay alert and never use jerky movements or loud voices. By doing so we can keep Frisky's a frisky but peaceable kingdom. If an animal is injured or in pain they can be very dangerous and unpredictable. Humans are that way too.
16. Do you ever feel like saying 'forget it" and give up?
Not in years though... I used to.... One of my sons is handicapped and would need so much from me, that I would sometimes feel that he was being neglected ... or I'd sometimes I would wonder what it would be like to have a romance and relationship with a man. Sometimes I feel there are too few places that animals and monkeys can find help and refuge. Or just straight out wish I could get the HELP and FINANCES that would make this struggle to SAVE and CARE easier.
17. How long does it take for a new monkey to trust you?
For me usually not long. However, there are still a few that have been here for a year that I cannot hold or even touch. Some bond right away and others do not. I always spend several nights on a cot next to their enclosure after their arrival. I never change their names and I only make nutritional changes in their diet so that they get the best nutrition possible.
18. Is there evident hierarcby between you and the animal?
Yes, with a few.We all have our own personalities which must be accepted by others from time to time.
19. Do you think the animals enjoy the sanctuary?
Yes, I do. I try very hard to do just that. And believe me it takes a lot of hard work to provide a comfortable and nutritional home along with enrichment. For example raccoons like hollow logs, monkeys like baby and parrot toys, ferrets like hammocks and cat toys, cats like balls and toys, dogs like chew bones, and goats like to climb on dog igloo houses.

20.Do you take volunteers?
Yes, those that are sincere in working for the animals' welfare. Hands on handling is rare. However, if a rabies shot is acquired from the health department, handling of the animals is a possibility. Once they find out it involves a lot of cleaning, they change their minds. My son says Frisky's is a fertilizer-making farm.
21.Do you hire people for paying jobs?
Once in a great while. if we need an electrician or plumber or a bricklayer. These are jobs that Scott Robbins, the other manager at Frisky's and I cannot do.
22.Do you except monetary donations?
OH YES! Whenever they are offered. We only started taking monetary donations when we became a registered nonprofit organization.We never receive any pay whatsoever. All donations go to the animals and the monkey's welfare. And I will NEVER have it any other way.
23. Do you ever get horses?
Yes, once in a while there are special cases that need quiet and or special diets. Some need constant medications like the horse that was stabbed deeply several times with a pitch fork. He needed large doses of penicillin several times a day and lots of rest.
24. what happens to the wildlife after they are better?
All wildlife is returned to their natural environment. Most go to Maryland's Patapsco State Park.
25. Are there any improvements you would like to make at the sanctuaty?
OH YES! Bigger; better enclosures, and big outside cages with concrete floors. We desperately need to build another monkey house, which will house the large Macaque monkeys. We have been trying hard to raise the fourteen thousand dollars to do it, but it is taking time. We will have garage sales every weekend starting in April on Saturdays and Sundays 9-5 pm. I am hoping this will be our biggest success.
26 Are donations tax deductible?
Yes they are. We are incorporated and registered; a nonprofit organization. Anyone who makes a donation will get a receipt.
27. Do you take animals mst are healthy but unwanted?
Yes. For instance we have cockatiels, ferrets, rabbits, turtles, guinea pigs, hamsters, goats, pigeons, and even a llama just to name just a few
28. How much does it cost to run something like this?
It takes well over fifty thousand dollars per year; and the bills and costs constantly go up.We try hard to cut corners and we do without. It is hard to make do when it is all for their welfare. We spend two hundred and fifty dollars a week just on monkey "grocenes." Brad and Trouble

29. Do you ever get to go on vacation?
NO, NO VACATIONS... which upsets a lot of my relatives that live across the United States. It is hard for them to visit me too with all the dangerous animals here or just my being too busy to visit. My son Rick moved from Savage to Sykesville, Maryland, almost a year ago and I still have not seen his apartment. He visits me because I need to see my grandson who is four and a half years old and growing very quickly
30. what chores do you do mostly?
Well there is a ton of cleaning, laundry, dishes, and shoveling to do. I mostly CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN.
31. How many cages do you have to clean aday?
Several dozen.There are monkey cages, ferret cages, rabbit cages, cat cages, chicken cages, etc. I could go on and on.
32. Do you clean every cage every day?
No, I would like to but I can't. Usually every few days. For the monkeys you do surface cleaning daily and change the bedding. This takes about twenty minutes per day per cage.
33. You volunteer your whole live to giving and doing for the animals just to release them. where do you ftnd the reward for all you have done?
I have volunteered my life to the sanctuary. Why waste it and do nothing. Life is a gift. I know how lucky I am to be alive. The reward is when I succeed in giving an animal or a monkey a chance to live a peaceful life.... We all deserve a chance.

Doctor Ernest Jacques (DVM) Comes Through Again
January 12, 1998, Dr. Ernest Jacques, DVM and a dentist from Johns Hopkins did canine reduction surgery on twelve year old Java Macaque monkey, Mr Bo Jangles. Being extra cautious, since Mr. Bo Jangles is an epileptic and a diabetic, we were keeping a watchful eye during the sedation and dental X-rays. All came out very well. The Bo cried-upon awakening because he was confused about what was going on. Manager, Colleen stayed by his side until he was completely awake.
Life without canines is good again. See, Colleen still loves me.
CoCo, a Rhesus Macaque monkey loves TV. Transistor radio is okay but just not the same.
Martin's Dreaded Diagnosis.
Our happy little male Squirrel monkey was born in January 1986. His ancestors are from South America. He likes to flirt, and he loves nuts, cereals, salads and milk. In his spare time he plays with small toys.
During his medical in January 1998 Dr. Jacques tested Martin and found that he has an invasive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the finger (CANCER). The Biopsy report of Steven R. Gilbertson, DVM, Dip., ACVP identified a cancerous tumor on his 9th finger. Martin wore a cast on his arm after surgery

More From Frisky's
I wrote and told Colleen that I was using some of Frisky's newsletters for my Apes and Monkeys notes and after I got back from vacation I found a very thick Priority Mail package with... well I'll let Colleen's note to me explain.
Brad 4-23-98
Thanks so much for putting Frisky's out there for All to read About. Sending extra info for you to draw from. Always make sure they know "The Viewing Public" that all the Primates are Lifers. Accepted no matter what their Health or Behavior is.
No Monkey, is ever Sold, Traded or Bred for Profit. Never Leaving the Sanctuary! They Have Large Indoor with Connecting outdoor inclosures.
Its like one Big Peaceable Kingdom.

Each monkey is very different in their needs, likes and dislikes, even Personalities Differ Greatly.
Someday I'll take sometime to write you More. Again Thanks so much for any help you can get for Frisky's.
Sincerely, Colleen
She did send me plenty of info to share with you as Apes and Monkeys continues. From past notes about Frisky's I have posted it has shown that Colleen keeps pretty busy with her animals monkeys and others so where ever she writes will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
My name is Melissa Knight. I have had a dream to have a chimpanzee since I was a little girl. I would like to know if you could tell me any information on how I can get a license and where I could adopt a chimpanzee. If you could help me at all I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,

Unfortunately, Collen cannot give tours of her sanctuary to visitors. According to Colleens permit, it is illegal for her to have visitors at the sanctuary.
This is word for word from a post listed above. I have one Question,If it is illegal as she states,than why is she seen on tv with a group of school children at her sanctuary. In her newsletters she puts out, talks about a woman in charge of public relations whos job is to set up tours. I can only say that this woman will say whatever it takes to get your money.Whatever will touch your heart to get your money. Tell you sad storys about baby monkeys rejected at birth.Baby monkeys aren't rejected at birth,thay are pulled and sold for thousands of dollars.Your donations are spent to buy her more baby monkeys and support her hobby.Wake up and find a real sanctuary to donate your hard earned dollars to.

Dear Colleen,
Thank you for letting the special education classes come to visitFrisky's. It was a great learning
experience for the children and the adults alike. The children broughtback many good memories
of the animals and what they did. They also enjoy their own personal pictures and bumper
stickers,
Could you please forward the latest news bulletin from Frisky's with our picture from the visit?
Four of them and going to the library. Of course would be nice for the four classes.

May 21, 1999 This is a letter that I copied from the Monkey Maddness web sight. Another lie that Collean has told. She said it is against the law to have visitors. WELL IS IT OR ISN'T IT? Just like her fund raising,she will tell you whatever she has to in order to get your money.Places like Friskys is what makes it so hard for people to make donations.When you use other peoples money to support your hobby,you make it hard for the real sanctuarys to raise funds to care for primates that truely need help. So,stop stealing from the public and get a job and use your own money to buy baby monkeys.I have heard how Friskys worked so hard to keep Jamie from the Ritterspachs with her lies to Animal Control.Miss Layton you should know that what you are doing is heartless.The Ritterspach love Jamie and there is NO better place for Jamie than back home with them
