Even after stepping away from an illustrious NFL career, the seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady continues to win several hearts worldwide. Apart from investing his precious time in business and other off-field pursuits, Brady has ventured into various humanitarian services, which also somehow involve his three kids, Jack, Benjamin, and Vivian.

The former NFL quarterback might have sought a divorce recently; however, he never misses an opportunity to prove himself a great dad. One of his clandestine gestures was recently unraveled on social media, where fans could see him spending time with a non-profit organization that annually welcomes over 13,000 animals. He and his kids frequently visit the facility to help the tenants take care of those animals and adopted two Siamese kittens for his daughter.

All these volunteering activities from Brady and his kids happened in utmost secrecy. Not to mention the facility managers helped him to stay low, despite utilizing his time and resources productively for the welfare of the animals.

“He would pick (his kids) up at school, and you’d see his pickup truck, he would pull into our lot, and there he was,” said Sherry Silk, who runs the place, to The Tampa Bay Times.

“He would always wear a baseball cap. Sometimes people would recognize him, and they would ask him for an autograph; not too many… And he just came in and did his thing,” she added.

Well, this noble gesture took no time to spread like a wildfire on social media when the official Twitter handle of NESN shared about the story. His followers flooded social media with crazy reactions.

The owner of the facility revealed that Brady would visit once a week or every other week. And whatever he did, the quarterback really meant it without disclosing his identity or attracting unnecessary media attention.

“And Tom happened to see us talking with his friend, obviously Logan,” Silk said. “(Ryan) was talking about his rescue pit bull, and I guess (Brady) reached out to (Ryan’s) wife and said, ‘I want my kids to be part of that, too…”, she added.

While Brady’s youngest one, 10-year-old Vivian attached to the kittens, his son Benjamin accompanied the dogs alongside a trainer circuiting the entire facility. It will be interesting to see how long the veteran continues to assist them. Especially after he takes up the analyst’s job shortly.
