This cat is walking again thanks to 3D-printed paws

Rescuers found Ryzhik on the icy streets of a Siberian city, with his paws completely frozen.

They took him to a groundbreaking vet, who 3D printed four titanium paws and attached them using a technique similar to teeth implants on humans.

The vet designed and 3D printed the paws in just 24 hours and has used the technique on small dogs, too.
