The cat that was put into a cardboard box and thrown out of a moving car Sunday in South Omaha has a new name. Friday, he got a new home, too.

Julius is the name given to the orange and white tabby cat that is at the Nebraska Humane Society. Humane society officials put the 1-year-old male cat up for adoption Friday. By Friday afternoon, Julius had been adopted, the humane society reported.

Pam Wiese, with the humane society, said a man who had read about the cat in The World-Herald came in early Friday afternoon.

"He wanted to make sure that nothing like that ever happens to Julius again," she said. "We think he'll be fabulous with him."

Glad he survived and is okay.

18. Folks who don't want to ID themselves get shot and killed by the police

trying to turn an animal in to animal control, so it's not that hard to understand.
