How Much Would This 3D Wheelchair For Kitten Probably Cost? Recently Rescued 2 Disabled Kittens That Need It
Sleepy Panda 3 months ago
This is Chloe, a former @kittenxlady rescue! She was rescued years ago from a shelter already paralyzed. She used her wheelchair 2–3 times before realizing it was easier and made her happier to get around on her own two (working) legs! You can follow her at @gochloego on instagram! She’s around 10 now, I think, but still just as cute!

I do love the amazing art people are creating with 3D printing, but I tend to make useful things and absolutely love that I can create something to my own exact specifications. A countertop organizer for the bathroom that perfectly fits the corner of my counter, printed grids and tool organizers for my toolbox, picture hangers, cable minders and wire clips, wing nuts, so many things!
