A 44-pound cat found lumbering around New Jersey was abandoned by a woman who said her home was foreclosed, an animal shelter official said Thursday.
The porky white cat found Saturday became a local media sensation and was dubbed "Princess Chunk". But the animal is really a male whose name is Powder.
Jennifer Andersch, director of the Camden County Animal Shelter, said Thursday that the cat's owner came forward to describe the animal's background.
I saw this yesterday on the Today show and was appalled. What is the owner thinking to allow this poor cat to become so fat? Frankly, I hope the owners don't claim her so she can be adopted by someone who has more sense.
