This cat, named Powder, and dubbed Princess Chunk when he was first discovered, nicknamed because of his size, weighs approximately 44 pounds! Despite its weight, Powder has been given a clean bill of health.

Powder’s owner lost her home to foreclosure two weeks ago and just let the cat out as she could no longer afford to keep him. Isn’t she highly irresponsible?

Following a whirlwind media tour, including a TV appearance on” Live with Regis & Kelly”, there were five hundred people, some from outside the United States, who wanted to adopt Powder but the Camden County Animal Shelter, who is responsible for Powder for the time being, has selected a couple with a teenage child to adopt him because they have prior experience with cats. The adoptive father is meanwhile building a little cat castle and will collect him next week.

What is sad is that while five hundred people offered to adopt Prince Chunk, almost none of them wanted to adopt any of the other abandoned cats at the Camden County Animal Shelter. It's as if most of them are only seeking publicity. I figure that if you could open your home to Powder, you could open your home to any other cat. Camden County Animal Shelter reported that they euthanized a thousand cats last year, a third of the cats in the Shelter.
