So Guess Why This Kitten Is Named Verrazano

No, really, it's a cute story once it stops being a disturbing story. So an agent with the New York City Animal Care & Control was driving across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge when he saw a car in front of him toss something out the window. We'll let a spokesman for the ACC take it from here.

  "At first he thought they were throwing garbage," said AC&C spokesman Richard Gentles. "Then he realized it was a kitten." The fast acting agent jumped out of his vehicle and managed to rescue the kitten, who fortunately was not tossed so far that they fell off the bridge. The Russian Blue kitty, now dubbed Verrazano, is fine and will soon be up for adoption. If you are interested in adopting Verrazano or happened to see the bastard person nightmare human who chucked the defenseless cat, contact New York City Animal Care & Control at [e-mail].
