On the same day Sad Boy’s passing was announced, Baby Bird’s rescuers at Rafiki’s Rescue also shared a heartfelt Instagram post and TikToks to announce the sad news of the beloved internet kitty’s passing. Baby Bird was tragically just five months old.
Megan, Baby Bird’s owner and caregiver at Rafiki’s Rescue, posted a touching video on social media to pay tribute to the feline’s memory. She sang a song while sharing cherished clips of her and Baby Bird. In her post, Megan wrote, “I sat all yesterday, unable to speak a word. I could not bring myself to do anything but sit there.

In a previous post, Megan disclosed that Baby Bird had been diagnosed with feline Sarcoidosis, a condition characterized by abnormal tissue growth in felines. Just a weekend prior to her passing, Baby Bird had to be rushed to the hospital due to sudden lethargy and neurological impairment, adding to the heartache of her caregivers and fans.
