About Premier Primates
At Premier Primates, we believe responsible primate ownership begins with education, careful preparation, and a commitment to lifelong care. Our goal is to help every approved owner make informed decisions while prioritizing the welfare of each primate.
View Available PrimatesOur Commitment
Premier Primates was created to provide accurate information about Capuchin Monkeys, Marmoset Monkeys and Squirrel Monkeys while helping prospective owners understand the responsibilities involved before welcoming a primate into their home.
We believe successful placements begin long before transportation. Every prospective owner should understand the species they are interested in, verify local ownership laws and prepare an appropriate environment before beginning the placement process.

Responsible Primate Ownership
Owning a primate is a long-term commitment. Primates require specialized housing, enrichment, nutrition, supervision and access to experienced veterinary care.
Before applying for one of our available primates, we encourage every prospective owner to verify local laws, prepare an appropriate environment and learn about the species they are interested in.
Helpful information about animal welfare can be found through the USDA Animal Care Program and the American Veterinary Medical Association .
