Celebrating Ten Years of Saving Lives: Major Tom's Story


This year, as SVPP celebrates a decade of life-saving work, we're reflecting on the stories of our early rescued pets.

In early 2015, SVPP began its rescue operations during kitten season, focusing on orphaned kittens like Major Tom and his siblings, who were abandoned in the community.

Thanks to the love and dedication of our early supporters and passionate volunteers, we were able to rescue Major Tom and his siblings. They were placed in an experienced foster home where they could grow healthy, happy and well socialized. Kittens like Major Tom represent the most vulnerable animals flooding our shelters nationwide. 

Major Tom, now lovingly known as POTUS, found his forever home and is thriving on the East Coast alongside his brother, another SVPP alum.  His adopters share that he's truly living the good life! 

Major Tom's journey embodies everything SVPP stand for:  compassion, commitment, and the belief that every pet deserves a chance at a happy life, no matter their age or circumstances.

Since rescuing Major Tom and his siblings, SVPP has helped save the lives of over 2,000 pets in need, from kittens to senior pets, some with chronic conditions.  Each rescue is a reminder of how far we've come - and how much more we can achieve with your support.

As we celebrate 10 years of impact, we invite you to join us in honoring Major Tom's legacy and ensuring a bright future for even more pets.
