Basing myself on various depictions of Atlantis, and the stories told by Plato (And Age of Mythology XD), I have come with a decent list of animals that could exist in the island of Atlantis.

-Elephants
-Crocodiles (and Choristoderes, co-existing)
-Bats
-Dodo-like Birds
-Other Migratory Birds that got stuck in the Island.
and also Multituberculate equivalents of
-Otters
-Leopards
-Rats
-Deers/Alpacas

Edit: I didn't saw JohnFaa's post. Maybe hyenas or ancient felines could work, but I don't see how could the arrive to the island.

Maybe choristoderes could occupy crocodile like niches, with the only native crocodillians, pristichampsids, occupying the niches of canine/hyena like cursorial predators

Would any primates have arrived on the island? or would any other creatures adopt a primate like form?

REVIVE!!!

I honestly think that a few hoofed animals such as Propaleotherium could become stranded on the island after Europe and North America split, and they could evolve into creatures like deer and horses.
