Vito, or Vituzzo, had both rear legs amputated after they were crushed by a vehicle in Milan while his owners were away on their honeymoon.

The couple, former basketball player Silvia Gottardi and her wife Linda Ronzoni, returned home immediately. Vito’s story has been widely shared with the hashtag #vituzzosuperstar.

His surgery to attach two prostheses by inserting them directly into his remaining upper leg bones has reportedly never before been achieved successfully in Italy.

Ci sono novitĂ ! Vi ricordate che ero in attesa dell’operazione finale? Quella per mettermi delle protesi interne alle ossa? Nonostante le protesi siano pronte c’è stato un cambio di programma: il mio doc e le mamme hanno deciso che trattandosi di un’operazione molto delicata e dal risultato non sicuro preferiscono lasciarmi queste protesi esterne con le quali nei mesi ho preso molta confidenza e che ora mi permettono di muovermi alla grande! Certo esteticamente queste non sono il massimo, ma nessun altro gatto sulle protesi è agile come me perciò… Per ora l’ho scampata! 😻🤟🏻#vituzzosuperstar #bioniccat #amoreinfinito #gattissimi #catoftheday #gingercat
