“Prince Chunk” — a 44-pound homeless cat that was found meandering the streets of Voorhees, N.J. — has a new home, according to a Yahoo!News report.

The 10-year-old feline was abandoned by its owner earlier this month because of a foreclosure situation. “Powder” — the cat’s real name — was taken in by the Camden County Animal Shelter until a home could be found for him.

It’s a story that captured national headlines due in large part (no pun intended) to Prince Chunk’s rotund appearance. In fact, the cat appeared on “Live with Regis and Kelly” — a major morning program that is beamed into millions of living rooms nationwide.

The unlikely high-profile public relations campaign was apparently effective because more than 400 people expressed their interest to become the adoptive parents of “Prince Chunk.” And one south Jersey family who already has two cats has been selected out of the bunch.

Let’s hope that he doesn’t eat his new owners out of house and home.
