A 44-pound cat found on the streets of New Jersey was abandoned by a woman who claimed that her home was foreclosed, an animal shelter official announced on Thursday.

Donna Oklatner, aged 65, got in touch with the Camden County Animal Shelter to report that she was the owner of the overweight cat found in Voorhees, N.J., dubbed “Prince Chunk.” However, the woman explained she could not afford to take the feline back after losing her house. Chunk’s former owner failed to keep up with the mortgage payments and said that she was “heartbroken” about having to give up her cat, whose real name is actually Powder, as reported by the New York Daily News. Whatever the kitty’s name is, he probably is the most popular feline of the nation at this point.

Donna Oklatner hopes for ex-Powder to be placed in a loving home, which seems very likely, since the Camden County Animal Shelter has already received more than 100 adoption offers, according to the Associated Press.

“We will look at the applications and decide which is the best home,” Jennifer Anderch said, shelter director and “spokesperson” for the chubby cat.

Shelter officials informed MyFOXPhilly.com that Prince Chunk was brought to the shelter after Animal Control found him outdoors without wearing a collar.

What’s more, the Prince’s gender has been under serious discussion since he was found last week. Officials originally believed the cat was a male, and nicknamed him “Captain Chunk”, but then realized he was a she, deciding on the “Princess” label. Nonetheless, on Thursday, a veterinarian confirmed that the cat was a male, as initially thought, and Prince Chunk it was.

Shelter officials had no alternative but to use a dog scale in order to weigh the cat, who is only a couple of pounds wispier than the heaviest cat on record, a 46-pound, 15-ounce tabby who lived in Australia and died in the 1980s.
