( CNN ) -- A Connecticut woman attacked Monday by her friend 's pet chimpanzee was taken Thursday from a Connecticut hospital to the famed Cleveland Clinic in Ohio , a hospital spokeswoman said . She would not divulge the victim 's condition nor the reason for the move . Travis , seen here as a younger chimp , was fatally shot by police after attacking Nash , authorities say . Charla Nash , 55 , was transferred by airplane and ambulance to the clinic , where doctors in December performed the first facial transplant in the United States . The attack has raised questions about whether exotic animals should be kept as pets . Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said Wednesday that primates and crocodiles should be added to a state list of animals citizens are not allowed to own . Nash initially was taken to Stamford Hospital , where she underwent seven hours of surgery after she was attacked by the 14-year-old chimp , named Travis . Nash 's friend , Sandra Herold , 70 , had called Nash for help in getting the animal back inside her house after he used a key to escape . When Nash arrived at Herold 's Stamford home , the chimp , who has been featured in TV commercials for Coca-Cola and Old Navy , jumped on her and began biting and mauling her , police said . Doctors said Wednesday that Nash had received extensive injuries to her face and hands . A Stamford police officer fatally shot the nearly 200-pound chimp after the primate turned on him inside a police cruiser , police said . Herold told reporters at her home that she and the chimp slept together and that she considered him like a son .
