This kitten was too tiny for a wheelchair. So his foster mom made one with Hot Wheels and duct tape
Reported byCBC Technology & Science ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Gelato, a kitten with a spinal injury unable to use his back legs, was fitted with a mobility device made from Hot Wheels, rulers, and duct tape by veterinary assistant Mallory Smith at Cincinnati Animal Care, and has since graduated to a 3D-printed adjustable device while regaining muscle strength.
Gelato's full recovery is expected but not yet complete.
