Vincent was surrendered at the Story County
Animal Shelter in Nevada Iowa where I work and I took one look at him and fell in
love and took him home was very young at the time but had abnormality in both
of his hind legs he was missing them from the midtibia down and he was unable to walk It’s a very unusual abnormality we’re not exactly sure
what caused it and determine that probably that left hind leg was not
going to be salvageable in its entirety meaning that his knee was fixed and
hyperextension it couldn’t bend it all of course he was a kitten at the time
so his body weight was small and as they grow there’s more and more weight placed on
the back legs with no feet or really legs to walk on actually was developing
sores in areas on his legs putting these implants in his femurs is going
to be the best option to give him legs so that he could actually walk to the
very first time the first time I saw him after surgery it was scary I’ll be
honest because you don’t normally see metal things poking out of your cat is
extremely rare in fact that I just guessed it probably less than 25 animals
in the world who ever had anything quite like what he’s got some people think of
prosthetics they think of something that strapped onto a leg to allow walking in
animals it’s not usually very viable option especially in the femur thigh
where his his injuries are is nothing with a strapon and so his implants go
inside the bone and then traverse the skin so he has metal posts poking
through skin and that’s very very unique very challenging type of problem in
implant or to deal with his bone is looking great implants are stable and
he’s walking really well and it couldn’t be happier with how he’s doing at the
current time I anticipate that he’ll be jumping in and doing really normal cat things very soon normal cat like in that came into a
shelter with you know not have a future because his injuries were you know
pretty staggering that you know you do what you need to do to make your animal
successful think this does open the door for us to be able to help other animals
have similar problems and even what we’ve learned to just threw vincent’s
case we’ve actually refine the technique and the implants so the next cases we do
moving forward to be the more successful
I think he needs something a bit more springy. Like the ones humans have to run with. The ones he has don't appear to be too good for jumping with!
This is too far. I love animals but seriously this is too much. I know it's hard but sometimes nature must run its course.
that iron legs should make it a bit longer so he/she could walk or run faster
She needs to check out the bionic vet
Maybe you could go a step further(no pun intended) ! Like a string loaded knee joint or something that would act like a knee but at least a bit closer to a full leg. I know this is great what Vincent has and because of you guys working hard to make him a better life!
My hat is off to you and your team and also the owner ! I would like to think all of these types of prosthetics may lead to more and more leaps into the future for making life longer and better for everyone that needs help!! Special thank you to Vincent, the amazing wonder cat ! Take care !
the implants are too short
Thanks for clearing up the shortness issue. That's the first question I had. This is great. Updates on Vinnie?
cat with two back legs gone could you do a 3D printing machine to get them prosthetic legs that would help the cat sincerely TCB Elvis Presley that's the way it is man
I'm fighting the implants too short for the cat cat needs Prosthetics take clip onto the existing leg said he has so he can walk it's cruel to see him bent over like this sincerely TCB Elvis Presley That's it man
Any news on the cats health today?
Why aren't the new legs a little longer?
I'm not the only one who thinks it's freakin adorable the way the cat walks right?
my cat is like this, but only on her left leg.. i guess shes even more special than i thought!
This is so cool, well done!
And after some years they will have to do it all over again to the poorcat because the bone around the screws losen so they will need bigger screws.
I fucking hate this feeling. My heart feels like it's about to break……
Simply marvelous
Is there anybody in India who can do this ?
He has that thing but he can still walk perfectly
Does he has any pain , walking with these legs? He looks so fine with them….
Maybe he could have adaptations more like Oskar's, the Bionic Cat?
Average price for one prosthetic leg for a cat???
Imagine inserting an iron rot into your bone squeezing the bone marrow. Wow, what a sweet imagination!!!
Why not just put him down. Save money and pain of everyone involved.
Oh no Poor cat
The cat got his legs blown off in Vietnam.
OH NO how expensive is it? What would happen if he didn't have it? What age can you get it? MY NEW KITTEN HAS THIS
Those prosthetics need to have springs instead of just those rubber pads. Much less impact travelling through the cat's bones.
Que hermoso gatito y tierno 😍😍😘😘 que bueno eso le ayuda a caminar 👏👏👏👏
your besy
Gud job
Ur work is very appreciated
God bless you beautiful cat 😘

You could have made them longer???
I want this cat. Omg I’m In Love
I love cats 🐈
😍😍😍😍😍😍
But the prosthetics legs are too short
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍💋❤👼😻
I'm glad that they worked with this kitty, it's so sad that when one is born different, people usually cut the animals life short. I truly hope that this kitty's body accepts these implants permanently! 🐱🐾💖
I don't understand why they have to do a new surgery every time. Why not just lengthen the post in his legs? No wonder NO one can afford surgeries, prosthetics, etc for their pets. I'm glad this family can……lucky cat!
He’s so cute!!
Let's see a more recent video please with his longer legs.
O povero angelo senza le 2 zampine. Ma almeno l'ho avete salvato. Che amore questo angelo e un'amore. Piccolo. Complimenti che l'ho avete operato. ☺😇😍😘😻😻😻😻👄👄👄💋💋💋❤💖💕💓💝💞👍👍👍👍👍🐱🐱🐱🐱🐈🐈🐈🐈🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
They could have given him some height ffs
Я русская
They look a bit short
He is awesome ! ❤
😟🙏🤗
😢😭💔
😢😢
Lol that’s a cute prosthetic! 😂😂😂
뒷다리가 좀 길었으면 좋겠어요 👍
Why are the prosthetics so short
Awesome💞
Like, even though your hind legs are hosed, you're awesome. Way to go, babe!
Is really ubius that she is in pain.because those prostatic legs..why don't do some like those atlets that way be more softbto the Bones
"you do what you need to do to keep your animal successful."
is it coincidence that a cat with disadvantage has such a loving owner?
Poverino senza zampe di dietro. Complimenti che li vete messo le 2 protesi per farlo camminare. Bellissimo il video. 💞💞💞💞💖💖💖💖👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍
Science and love at the service of life.
❤😘🐱💗💗💗💗💗
beautiful cats..thank u verry much for save her life..
ak pecinta kucing.. . 😺
Poor baby 👶 he need a lot of love ❤️ get him a family home 🏡 doctors should take him home 🏡
凄い‼😭😭😭👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
thank u so much for saving him!
Adjustable leg height might help with maybe those runner springs. It would raise its spine and be more natural.
Привет из России. Какие вы молодцы 🐈😍🤗😘😘😘
Smol stompers
Could have made the prosthetics the same length of the fore legs
Should the prostheses be longer?
That way his back legs will be balence with his front.
And walking is not so hard on his lower back
Monster cat…. horrible !!
Wow great job!!❤️🙌🏻
Why didn't they make the prosthetics a little longer ?
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! 💜
The legs need to be longer….
Cyborg cat.
you are amazing people!

poor thing
Google The Bionic Vet England…Noel Fitzpatrick does many operations like this..very clever man.
Ay for god….foot prostetic please i see…..cryyy…cryyy
Poor cat. At least now he can get around even though it may be in a n awkward manner. At least the implants enable him to have some mobility that he couldn't have had otherwise.
Ne dediklerini anlamıyorum ama kurban olurum ben sana ❤️
Qui lindo
Praise God for creating people like Dr. Mary Sarah Bergh!
Thank you for giving him back some hope you can see it in his eyes
Bravo!En France les vétérinaires l'aurais euthanasier
In France veterinarians would euthanize
the cat seems to have no pain, and can walk.
thank you very much!
💕💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🙏🙏🙏🙏great save thank you
Warum hat man ihr die Hinterbeine sooo kurz gemacht ?
OCH , I LOVE YOU BABY SOOOOOO MUCH …… THANK ALL OF THIS DEAR HEROES FOR HELPING LOVELY CAT GOD BLESS YOU AND SAVE YOU ALL ♡♡♡
I think they are short
in vincents case the success can be measured solely on his happiness so im thinking HOME RUN
Vincent needs to get the new computerized feet. He would be hard to keep up with. He would be running. Lol
U guys should make a little higher…
Mantap🙏
I wish there was an update
That is so cool, he gets around ok, and he's a fighter, hats off to Iowa university, MAD RESPECT FROM THE NORTH👍👍😎😎🐆🐆
Iowa State vets are outstanding!
How close are we to being able to add prosthetic paws?
