Lets Chat About Cats - Episode 40 Featuring Shaine from Wheelies Dog & Cat Wheelchairs
Show Notes

Today I hosted my youngest ever guest on the show! The beautiful Shaine from Minnesota joined me to tell me all about her creations which enhance the lives of so many animals.

Shaine is only 16 years old but already is a truly inspiring young lady. During the pandemic she started to help paralysed, disabled or special needs animals by creating special wheelchairs and carts to give them the mobility they were otherwise missing and allow them to live with an enhanced quality of life.

Shaine has always loved animals and having learned about so many animals being euthanised in shelters because they were seen as not being able to have a full life she knew she wanted to make a positive change and do something. Her carts were born and she started by working on them to make a difference.

Since then Shaine has not only made wheelchairs and carts for cats and dogs but she has also helped a little hedgehog. She customises the carts for her clients in various colours and styles and takes great pride in her work.

The incredible thing is Shaine does all of this in her spare time alongside still studying for school, dancing and so keeps her very busy but she works with such grace, passion and a pure heart.

Shaine recently was featured as  a guest on the Kelly Clarkson show and she was very excited about that! In the world there are some special people and Shaine is one of them, at such a young age she understood that people need to stand up to make a difference and found a way in which she could. Truly remarkable.

You can follow Shaine on her Instagram @wheelies_dogandcat_wheelchairs to see more of her creations and what she's working on.
