NEW ARRIVAL:
Waylon, three-fingered sloth: Waylon was found by MINAE after his mom was hit by a car. He arrived to us in a fragile state and has had some lung issues resulting from that trauma. He is currently receiving antibiotic and nebulization treatments, and has an extremely reserved prognosis at this time.




NEW ARRIVAL:

Despite this, our Vet Team has decided that Beanie is not a good candidate for release. It is expected that she will join our other resident sloths as a permanent member of our Sanctuary. Beanie only needs $100 more to fully fund her CUDDLY Campaign! → https://bit.ly/BeanieCUDDLY

Viscerion doing well


Breakfast time for sweet Waylon!

🥀In Loving Memory:  🙏   😢

Elmo, 2F sloth: We are all absolutely devastated to announce that our beloved Elmo has passed away. We observed nasal secretions and breathing issues late last week and immediately started him on nebulization treatments. Since his arrival, Elmo had lung issues and developed pneumonia several times before, especially as a baby. These repeated infections caused a chronic condition called lung fibrosis, which left his lungs weakened and scarred, and caused him to be more susceptible to infections. Sadly, this particular infection was too much for his already weakened lungs to overcome. He passed in his sleep three days after we began treatments. The quick progression of his illness and his subsequent passing has rocked our care staff; we are grieving along with you at this tragic news.

Sweet Elmo, rip little one, please say hello to Robin and Reggie   😢

🦥Sloth Preschool Update:

NEW ARRIVALS
Bonnie, 2F sloth: Bonnie arrived to us alongside Clyde, both newborns brought to MINAE Guapiles office. Bonnie’s story is missing a lot of details and we do not have much to share other than she is as newborn as they come. We have noticed some irregularities on her x-rays so we will be closely monitoring her development but for now her behavior is indicating stable health. This little one has a reserved prognosis at this time.
Clyde, 2F sloth: Clyde arrived to us alongside Bonnie, both newborns brought to MINAE Guapiles office. Clyde was found alone, on the ground for 4 days before neighbors intervened. Good-intending locals tried feeding him cow’s milk before surrending him to MINAE, so he has had some digestive issues but so far has been stable. Still, due to his tiny size he has a reserved prognosis at this time.
TayTay, 2F sloth: Our neighbors in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica, found TayTay after her mother was tragically killed in a domestic dog attack. She had miraculously survived unscathed. She is stable aside from some mild digestive issues we have been treating. Still, she has a reserved prognosis at this time.

Waylon, 3F sloth: Waylon’s condition is steadily improving! He no longer needs daily nebulization treatments and his appetite is increasing. He has even started eating leaves like a big sloth! Despite his progress, Waylon still has a reserved prognosis due to his fragile state.
Wyatt, 2F sloth: Wyatt is doing great! He is healthy and recently hit his goal weight, so he will soon be graduating to Sloth Elementary!
Beanie, 2F sloth: Beanie is growing well and has begun transitioning onto the diet we provide our Sanctuary sloths. She is nearly ready to graduate to Sloth Elementary, but we want her fully transitioned to a captive diet before we move her.
Fiesta, 2F sloth: Despite some irregular bowel movements, Fiesta is doing well! She is stable and enjoys spending time with her Sloth Elementary classmates
Bruno, 2F sloth: Bruno is also officially out of the incubator at night! He is growing well and has been maintaining a healthy apetite. He is stable at this time.
Tulip, 2F sloth: Tulip is happy, healthy, and progressing quickly. At the rate she is growing, she will soon be ready to graduate to Sloth Elementary!
Nevada, 2F sloth: Nevada is sassy as ever and growing quickly. She has been maintaining regular bowel movements once again and eating well.
Pixie, 2F sloth: Pixie is growing fast! She is starting to develop a feisty attitude and we suspect she has been influenced by her big sister Nevada. We are proud of her progress, but she is still spending her nights in an incubator and remains with a reserved prognosis until she gets bigger.

🌳Sloth Elementary / High School Update:

Rose, 2F sloth: Rose is doing well, but has had some nasal secretions. Currently receiving preventative nebulization treatments until that has cleared up. She is otherwise healthy and active.
JJ, 2F sloth: JJ has had some nasal secretions but is otherwise healthy. He is receiving preventative nebulization treatments until this clears up. As one of our most needy juvenile sloths, we are working on getting him more independent from humans.
Mimi, 2F sloth: Mimi is doing great! She is healthy, active, and growing fast.
Moose, 2F sloth: Moose has hit a stagnant period in his weight gain. Due to this, we have delayed his weaning process to get him back on track with extra feedings. Otherwise he is stable and active.
Grover, 2F sloth: Grover’s nebulization treatments have suspended and he is doing much better. He is progressing well in his weaning process and spending days in an outdoor enclosure.
Phoenix, 2F sloth: Phoenix has been fully weaned off smoothie! He is spending longer periods of time in an outdoor enclosure, gaining independence, and maintaining a healthy appetite towards his leaves.
Binx, 2F sloth: Binx was weaned off smoothie! She is spending more time outside, but we are still working on her independence. In the meantime, she is sharing an enclosure with Phoenix until she is confident enough to be alone.

🎓Sloth University Update:

Marina, 3F sloth: Marina is gaining confidence and navigating the branches of her prerelease enclosure with ease. We are confident that this little lady will make a great release candidate in the near future!
Natalia, 3F sloth: Independent Natalia loves her large prerelease enclosure where she has all the fresh leaves she can eat. She will soon be ready for release!
Myrtle, 2F sloth: We have amazing news about Myrtle: her supportive treatments will end on Friday!! That means this growing girl is anemia-free and ready to continue her rehabilitation journey! For the next 1-2 months our amazing Release Site Vet will monitor her closely for any reappearance of anemia symptoms, and if all goes well, she will be next up for rewilding.
Ken, 2F sloth: Ken is doing great in a much larger enclosure! He is spending more time climbing and has been enjoying a varied diet of fresh leaves.
Roo, 2F sloth: Roo is making great progress! He is maintaining a healthy appetite and is more active than ever.

Sloth TV update - Sweet Paul 

We are thrilled to share that Paul's recovery journey is progressing wonderfully, showcasing his incredible resilience and strong desire to return to the wild where he belongs. His spirit and determination have been truly inspiring to everyone involved in his care.

Paul’s charred and torn skin is still being treated with a combination of antibiotics, regular antiseptic cleanings, and tilapia skin grafts. This innovative treatment not only facilitates blood flow to the wound site but also significantly reduces the risk of bacterial infection, promoting faster and more effective healing

His shoulder is healing well, and we are committed to taking him for daily exercises to help him regain his strength and mobility. These exercises are crucial in ensuring that Paul can eventually thrive in his natural habitat again.

Your generous donations are vital in providing Paul with the care and resources he needs. With your continued support, we can help Paul recover fully and return to the wild, where he truly belongs. Thank you for being a vital part of Paul's journey to recovery and freedom!

🐽 Meet TayTay! This little popstar arrived to us from Sarapiquí, Costa Rica after her mother was found dead. Tragically, the pair had been attacked by neighborhood dogs.
😢 Miraculously TayTay had escaped to a nearby tree and was unharmed, but this vulnerable newborn was only days old and had just survived the most traumatic ordeal of her life. We were unsure if she would survive.
💖 That was a few weeks ago and we are happy to report that TayTay is thriving under the care of our skilled Vets and Nursery Staff! She is still small, so we are closely monitoring her progress daily.

Look how well Fluffy is doing with just one arm.
