[UPDATE BELOW] Another feline has been rescued on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge! Back in July, hundreds of cat lovers applied to adopt an adorable kitten that some terrible excuse for a human being tossed out of the window of a moving car on the bridge. That lucky cat, dubbed Verrazano, quickly caught the eye of Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit star Whoopi Goldberg, who ultimately won him and renamed him Vinny. If you are one of the hundreds of nobodies who tried to adopt Vinny only to have your heart broken harder than Demi Moore in Ghost, you may be in luck, because now another kitten has surfaced on the same bridge. more ›

Some 140 people applied to adopt the adorable kitten that some miserable P.O.S. tossed out of the window of a moving car on the Verrazano Bridge in July. Among the hopefuls was TV's Whoopi Goldberg, and it was announced today that Animal Care & Control has granted her wish, which we're sure has everything to do with her qualifications as a pet owner and nothing to do with her celebrity status. Animal shelter staffers had named the five-week-old Russian blue kitten Verrazano after it was rescued, but Goldberg has christened him Vinny. more ›

On Saturday afternoon, a worker with the city's Animal Care and Control Center on Staten Island was driving over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge when he saw something fly out the window of a passing vehicle. "At first he thought they were throwing garbage," AC&C spokesman Richard Gentles tells the Daily News. "Then he realized it was a kitten." Gentles believes the driver intended to toss the kitten over the edge of the bridge to its death but missed, and fortunately the AC&C officer came to his rescue. more ›
