Officials are searching for the heartless person who chucked a plucky kitten from a moving car on the Verrazano Bridge last weekend.
The tough tabby, a Russian blue dubbed "Verrazano," escaped without a scratch thanks to a city Animal Care & Control officer driving on the bridge on Saturday.
The city worker said he spotted something being thrown from a vehicle.
"At first he thought they were throwing garbage," said AC&C spokesman Richard Gentles. "Then he realized it was a kitten."
The officer, who was not available for interviews yesterday, worked with some truck drivers to stop traffic and rescue the kitten, perilously wedged by a barrier on the bridge roadway.
The 5-week-old kitten was brought to AC&C's Staten Island shelter.
Gentles said he has little doubt someone was intentionally trying to toss the kitten from the bridge into the water.
"He'll go into a foster home until he is old enough to be adopted," said Gentles. "He'll be ready when he is 2 months old."
