Wheelchairs for Cats
Cats are typically yoga specialists, and do not have back injuries as frequently as the long-bodied, short-legged d*g breeds like Dachshunds. But certain heart conditions, congenital spinal issues in some tailless kitties, or accidents can leave them without use of a limb.
Many times, these cats may otherwise be healthy and able to still lead happy, pain-free lives. It can take a bit more work to ensure their proper care, but companies like the K-9 Cart Company (shown above from the book “Complete Care for Your Aging Cat”) or Dewey’s Wheelchairs for Dogs offer some options for these special needs kitties.
And they’ll reach across the world to help, when asked. You can learn about the moving story of Alera, a paralyzed kitten in Asia, and how her veterinarian went the extra mile to help her by providing a wheelchair and teaching the cat how to use it.
