The legendary 23-year career of probably the greatest quarterback in NFL history came to an end on February 1 when Tom Brady announced his retirement from the league (for real this time).
What will Brady do now that he has completed his career in football? He’s going to be the cat father, for starters.
Best of all, the two Siamese kittens the former Patriots and Buccaneers player just revealed on social media that he had acquired are rescued from the Humane Society of Tampa Bay.
Brady said on Instagram, “Vivi wins again,” meaning that his daughter Vivian, 10, was the one who requested the adoption.
It turns out that no one, not even the most famous football player in the world, can refuse his daughter or some cute kittens.
It’s obvious that Tom Brady likes to remain active after spending a whopping 23 years playing in the NFL (even after reversing his retirement decision last year), and we’re sure he’ll have his hands full with these two kitties in the house.
Brady jokingly said, “This is how my mornings are right now.
Logan Ryan, a former Buccaneers teammate, and his wife Ashley Bragg Ryan were also recognized by Brady for introducing him and his family to the humane organization.
As Brady announced his retirement earlier this month, Ashley posted a picture of Brady and his daughter hugging pups at the shelter in August:

Ashley wanted to convey a humanizing tale on a day when many fans and sports analysts were considering Brady’s NFL legacy—not one about his football career, but rather about “the parent who worked at the animal shelter with his kids for a full football season. the one in which he and his children became close over naming pups and bottle-feeding kittens. The one where he often attended in silence to improve things for his family and neighborhood.
Vivian’s passion for animals, according to Ashley, was another factor in the decision to go on the trip. “It was about Tom taking the one thing his little girl loves the most and turning it into a chance to spend time with her,” Ashley said.
Brady and Vivian had been helping at the shelter for months, and according to Regan Blessinger of the Humane Society, the child fell in love with the two homeless cats.
“Tom’s interest in adopting the Siamese mix kittens was understandable given that Vivian was drawn to them. These two lovely cats have found the ideal family!
Spending time with his family will be a priority for Brady even if he still has a ton of tasks ahead of him after retiring, including a lucrative TV broadcaster position with Fox Sports. After 13 years of marriage, Brady revealed in October that he and Gisele Bündchen were divorcing. The pair apparently agreed on shared custody.
Brady stated, “We are blessed with lovely and delightful children who will always be the focus of our world. As parents, “We’ll keep cooperating so that kids always get the love and care they need.
The cats appear to be a terrific way for Brady and his daughter to connect, and what’s even better is that he’s given two rescue animals that desperately needed one a home.
Celebrities that take in animals from shelters are always an inspiration because it gives their supporters permission to “adopt, not purchase.”
