Whoopi Goldberg Adopted a Kitten Thrown from Car

On July 2, animal control Officer Brendon Ocasio witnessed someone throwing a 5 week old kitten out of their car and against the wall of New York City’s Verrazano-Narrows bridge. Today, Whoopi Goldberg officially adopted the Russian blue cat.

“For all of you who remember me on The View meeting Verrazano,” she wrote, “I adopted him and I was finally able to take him home.”

Now nicknamed Vinny, the feline is settling well into his new digs but has one more challenge to overcome: Goldberg’s other cat, Oliver.

“Oliver’s not too happy but, Vinny is having the time of his life,” she said. “I think he’ll get Oliver to come around sooner than later.” — PEOPLE

For those of you who want to re-home your unwanted kittens and puppies really quick, go ahead and throw them out of your car as you drive across the Verrazano bridge. I’m not sure if this works for babies as well but there’s only one way to find out. Someone call up Benicio del Toro.
