Tyler Bass’ miss is the Ten Lives Club’s gain.
Fans donated more than $260,000 to the New York-based cat adoption group endorsed by the Bills kicker in the days after he missed a pivotal field goal a divisional round loss to the Chiefs.
Bass deactivated his social media accounts after the crushing result with the Ten Lives Club stepping in to defend him as trolls went at him.
“DONT BULLY OUR FRIEND,” the group posted to its Instagram account on Monday. “We just heard the terrible news that Tyler Bass is receiving threats after yesterdays game and our phones are ringing off the hook from people who want to donate $22 to Ten Lives Club in Tylers name.”
Donations began pouring in late Sunday, with TV cook Rachael Ray and her pet food brand Nutrish together sharing a $30,000 gift.
We are just mind blown by this generosity, shelter spokeswoman Kimberly LaRussa told the Associated Press. Of course, we wish it was under better circumstances. We havent spoken to him. But Im pretty certain that hes seen whats going on, and I hope it brings him a smile.

I feel terrible, you know? I love this team and it hurts. This one hurts bad, he said after the game. Its a feeling that I cant even describe. Its a tough feeling, but you know, just got to keep your head high.
It’s the latest instance of Bills Mafia showing its appreciation, and it hasn’t been limited to Buffalo players in the past.

Despite the good deeds, Bills fans may face some stiff competition to be Bass’ biggest supporter.
I hope this makes him feel better, LaRussa said. We just want him to know that Ten Lives Club here is his No. 1 fan, and so are the cats.
