Foster Kitten with Custom-Made Wheelchair to Help Him Walk
Lead vet tech Mallory Smith used cardboard, rulers and Hot Wheels to build Gelato a custom wheelchair as he continues to recover.
- On Monday, Cincinnati Animal CARE showcased a custom, McGuyver-style wheelchair built for Gelato, a foster kitten who arrived unable to stand or walk on his own.
- Lead veterinary technician Mallory Smith designed the device after realizing the kitten was too small for standard wheelchairs available at the facility.
- Using cardboard, rulers, tape, and Hot Wheels, Smith assembled the mobility aid, jokingly noting, "Nothing a few rulers, zip-ties, and Hot Wheels can't solve!"
- Gelato is already showing improvement, as staff reported, "Gelato is getting stronger every day and is even starting to stand for little moments on his own!"
- Currently in foster care with Smith, the kitten continues his recovery, which the organization described as a "huge victory" while celebrating his ongoing progress.
