So, this is really late but I just saw this and I'm so sorry the little fellow passed away. I do, however, can offer up some insight on what possible condition he might have had. There's a condition called Arthrogryposis, which is characterized by joint contractures, the twisting of the limbs. There's a cat in the media recently, named Corky, that has Bilateral Arthrogryposis just to give you something to look up, if you wish, to see if Bran had similarities. Most kittens with the disease tend to perish, which is why you don't see many of them around. I was a veterinary technician for four years and did not see a single case although I had heard of it before. I'm sure you did everything you could for him, and made what little time he had on this earth special. Also, sorry if this brings up bad memories, but as soon as I saw the image I was intrigued.
