Thank you for posting this tutorial. I was able to make a walker for our shelter kitten with 2 broken legs. He is able to move and play now during recovery. ❤
Thanks so much for posting this video. I live in Cyprus as have managed to build something similar to your design using the pipes we have here. Had to get some assistance from a plumber friend of mine as we don't have the same types of pipes. Still trying to sort out the right harness to use for the CH Cat I am trying to help. She wasn't happy in the sling type harness. The frame is super though, thanks for all your help.
Outstanding!! You have got to be a fine man. I have an elderly cat that broke both his hind legs and one will not heal. I need to do this for him so his other leg can exercise and give him some therapy as well as freedom to move about. Thanks so much for sharing!! I love my old boy and want to do all I possibly can to help him with his disability.
Thank you for this video! My cat broke his front legs and he's been going crazy, he's normally very active. I'll build this for him and he'll be happier. I wish you all the best
Thank you for posting this. I am going to try to build one each for my two disabled cats, Zepp who was shot and Scooter who was born with a spinal defect. I'm not the most mechanically inclined person, but your video makes it look fairly easy :-)
Thanks so much for this video! Im contemplating adopting a CH kitten and I'm doing A LOT of research beforehand to make myself as prepared as possible. I know it will be a challenge, but I really need to help of these little critters and I've heard the rewards of a CH buddy are great. Wish me luck!
LOVE your video!! I have a *large* CH cat. Fortunately, he does not need a walker but may as he gets older (he is 11 now). You don't mention the size of the cat you made your walker for. It would help me, if you mentioned that your cat was (small, medium, large) and weighed x pounds. Anyway, that way I would know how to modify your design, so that it fits my cat. Thank You So Much!!
Great video! I have recommended your video to numerous viewers from around the world who have asked me about building a walker for adult cats with various mobility issues. I have a how-to video on my channel for building a walker for a kitten or other small animal, but yours is much more stable for a larger adult animal.
Hello , I watchet the video a few times , I bought everything , not the weels, to made it , but , for me it,s a hard job.I pay how much you ask , please !One for my little Jack.
I couldn't find them either, so I took regular PVC caps and drilled holes in them, and used casters with a stem on top so that I could bolt them in. :)
I also would love to build this for my cat. I can't find the caster inserts anywhere close. Could you give a suggestion about maybe ordering them somewhere?
I'm sorry i cant seem to find the rubber casters to connect the wheels to the pvc can anyone help..great video though built the enire thing and now need to find a way to connect the wheels ,
Bit late to reply but maybe this can help someone else with the same problem. I had no inserts so we put a stopped on the end of the pipe, drilled a hole to make a tight fitting for the caster. Hope this helps.
This is something like made for Bab´s about to learn how to walk right?? :-) And instead of drilling those holes one may Glue those parts together? Wouldn´t that work as well Well??
I believe I can answer that! The sling might need laundering or replacement. Using screws instead of glue will make it much easier to take apart and put back together.
My Flip gets out of it. He climbs out of the sling and I'm not sure how to stop that. Any suggestions? He can hardly walk on his own but can climb out in a heartbeat, lol.
This will be too late for you I am sure, but instead of having a sling, put the cat into a harness and fasten the harness to the sides. The keeps a firmer hold on the cat so that it can't easily jump out. Look at the other designs like the one for Thumper, they used a harness on him. Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem.

Not only a fine tribute to his pet Scout but an easy to follow guide for the rest of us. Thank you.

It's just amazing that you did this for your cat. Even more awesome - that you shared it for others…warms the heart : )
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to make this, what amazing heart you both have! God bless always and all ways.
Hey Leon, thank you for sharing this. Curt is going to build one for Wee. Wee sends kisses to you both!

Can you list down all the items and exact measurements in the description? I have a kitty in need of a walker right this but I'm not good at DIY.

At about 9:00, he lists supplies needed. (I wrote down a list as he spoke before I realized that 😆)

Great video! Thank you for sharing this. I was able to get all the supplies but can not find the caster inserts. Where can I find them? Thank you! :)
ACE Hardware store sells 5/8" & 3/4" caster plastic inserts
Where can I locate caster inserts? I've gone to Lowe's and home depot.
Thank you for sharing. Where did you get the wheels at ? Looking for something similar 🙏

What size casters? Did you use I am afraid mine maybe too short to make a tight fit.
This is something like made for Bab´s about to learn how to walk right?? :-) And instead of drilling those holes one may Glue those parts together? Wouldn´t that work as well Well??
Why didn't you use pvc adhesive?
I believe I can answer that! The sling might need laundering or replacement. Using screws instead of glue will make it much easier to take apart and put back together.
Ah, good point!
Do you sell them
My Flip gets out of it. He climbs out of the sling and I'm not sure how to stop that. Any suggestions? He can hardly walk on his own but can climb out in a heartbeat, lol.

please please can you write the materials and sizes????????
He lists all the materials and supplies at the end :)
okay, what does CH mean? :D
Cerebellar hypoplasia - they have neurological issues. It doesn’t improve but doesn’t get worse!
