The actress – who revealed almost three months ago that she is in remission after battling beast cancer – posed for a selfie with a teeny-tiny monkey on Monday, which she shared on Instagram. “Just me and a monkey,” wrote Doherty, 46. “Not a day goes by that I don’t feel blessed. This monkey was abandoned by its mom. He now lives at a sanctuary.” In an earlier video, the little creature perched on Doherty’s pal’s head under a hat. In the background, Doherty could be heard saying, “Is that a monkey on your head or are you just happy to see me?” She captioned the cute clip, “Monkeys with @sdjneuro all saved and now heading to a sanctuary.” Doherty’s female friend shared several images with the animals to her own Instagram account, although it’s unclear where they found the monkeys or what sanctuary they were at.
