BLACKWOOD, N.J. — A 44-pound cat found lumbering around New Jersey was abandoned by a senior citizen who said her home was foreclosed, an animal shelter official said Thursday.
“Princess Chunk,” whose 44 pounds gained media attention, is really a male named Powder. Jennifer Anderch, director of the Camden County Animal Shelter, said Thursday that she’s received hundreds of calls from people seeking to adopt Powder. His original owner cannot keep him, she said. The cat appeared Thursday on “Live With Regis and Kelly.” The largest cat on record weighed 46 pounds, 15 ounces. The Guinness World Records has since dropped the category, fearing cat owners might harm their pets in an attempt to break the record.
