Meet Koko's New Kittens

Koko got her birthday wish this July 4th — not only did one kitten come to visit, but a whole litter. Koko fell in love with one, and the other fell in love with her. Koko has adopted these two kittens into her family, and it has energized her world.

Not only have Koko's maternal and play instincts kicked in, but she is signing more to her caregivers and generating new content everyday that can be used by The Gorilla Foundation to create empathy fro great apes. This can have significant benefits to both endangered free-living great apes and those in captive environments, by encouraging the development of 2-way communication with their caregivers (which Koko has had since she was a baby).

The Gorilla Foundation is now working on a multimedia sequel to the classic book, "Koko's Kitten," which has already reached millions of children worldwide, and has the power to motivate millions more to learn how to make the world a better place for all of its conscious inhabitants.

I'm still sad she never got to fulfill her wish of becoming a Gorilla mother. She would make an absolutely wonderful mommy.

"Put that cat on my head."
Just imagine all of the weird shit animals want us to do but don't have the ability to communicate to us.

She was aware of her conscious, had empathy, love and a complex connection with humains.
If the paradise exist only for good innocent spirit, she should be here.

Even though Koko is a huge being, she's just so gentle with the kittens... It's amazing!

[zuliecastaneda]

I remember years ago I seen the Koko story and how she hurt and cried when her Kitty died I bawled my eyes out she made my heart melt because she was so sad . I'll never forget that never

[uzairahmed]

Kindness is not only on her hands but also in her eyes. This is true love.

KoKo. Born 7-4-1971 at Rest 6-19-2018, RIP KoKo.

[stepbak]

When Koko says “put the kitten on my head”, you put the kitten on her head!

[crimson]

RIP dear KoKo. I'm so sad you're gone but am thankful the world got to 'meet' you and see we humans have a lot of catching up to do to learn the love and empathy you masterfully demonstrated.
