Whoopi Goldberg is the happy new owner to a Russian blue kitten who was rescued after being tossed away over a bridge.
The kitten was named Verrazano by New York Animal Care & Control officers who rescued him after he was hurled from a moving car in early July. An AC&C employee happened to witness the toss and scrambled to save the cat, who grew to become an Internet celebrity in short order.
Verrazano first met Whoopi when he was brought on The View on July 7th. At the time Whoopi said: “I feel that I should have a conversation with Oliver [her other Russian blue cat] when I get home, because I think he needs a friend.”
