Gelato, a kitten who has won hearts with his homemade wheelchair, is now available for adoption at Cincinnati Animal CARE.

As Gelato seeks his forever home, potential adopters should be aware that he will require follow-up care from a veterinarian for additional therapy. He also needs assistance with urination stimulation, and his litter box training is still in progress.

PetSmart Charities is sponsoring Gelato's adoption fee. Those interested in adopting him can reach out via email at [email protected]. Additionally, there are Gelato-themed shirts available for purchase at $25, with proceeds benefiting Cincinnati Animal CARE.
