| Violet was less than a year old when her mother was killed. She was found chained to a squalid chicken cage in a rural village in central Indonesian Borneo. Her ‘owners’ regarded Violet as a family pet. Scared, infested with parasites and suffering from anaemia and amoebic dysentery, she was rescued just in time.
Following her rescue in May 2004, she was taken to the Orangutan Foundation's Care Centre near Tanjung Puting National Park in Central Indonesian Borneo. Aged just one and a half - too small to join the older orphans - Violet was taken to the nursery unit of the Care Centre. Violet settled in almost immediately and now spends her days clambering through trees and playing with other young orangutans.
By adopting Violet you will help to provide her with the loving long-term care on which she depends as she embarks on her slow journey back to the wild. Your adoption will also benefit the other orphans at the Care Centre.
