Bud

Litter number: 49
Kitten number: 205
Gender: m
Color: orange tabby + white

Siblings: Dorito, Niner, Raven

the smallest and weakest of the Superbowlers litter, Bud was the orange-and-white kitten with less white fur than Dorito and more white fur than Niner. Like those two and sister Raven, Bud had a horrible URI that left him unable to nurse. From the start we thought Bud would be the first to perish, but – amazingly – he ended up outliving all three siblings. But by day four, we realized that by continuing to tube-feed him, we were delaying the inevitable. He wasn't recovering, and we didn’t want him to suffer. We stopped feeding him after 6pm on day four, and he died overnight.
