Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber has been hit with a hefty bill by the quarantine centre caring for his pet monkey.
The 19-year-old singer has been ordered to pay thousands of pounds for care, food and vet visits to Mally (monkey's name), reported Sun online.
"Mally is lonely. He could suffer serious psychological problems if he doesn't start living with other capuchin monkeys soon," said Judith Brettmeister, Centre spokesman.
Mally is thought to have been given to the singer to mark his 19th birthday by music producer Jamal Rashid.
The abandoned monkey's only companions in his 10ft-by-16ft room at the shelter are his carer Conrad Dressler, 29, and an old teddy that Bieber gave him to play with.
