Whoopi Goldberg has adopted a kitten that last month was shockingly tossed from a moving car onto the Verrazano Bridge in New York.

Incredibly, an Animal Care & Control officer was driving at the time on the bridge when the cat was thrown.

Now, alongside a video of the kitten grooming itself and taking swipes at a toy, Goldberg writes on her Facebook page, “For all of you who remember me on ‘The View’ meeting Verrazano, the kitten who was thrown out the window of a moving car on the Verrazano Bridge. I adopted him and I was finally able to take him home. His nickname is ‘Vinny’.”

Goldberg was among 140 people who sought to adopt the cat.

On “The View,” Goldberg said, “I feel that I should have a conversation with [her other cat] Oliver when I get home, because I think he needs a friend.”

The conversation apparently didn’t go too well.

Goldberg noted on Facebook, “Oliver’s not too happy but Vinny is having the time of his life. I think he’ll get Oliver to come around sooner than later.”
