44-pound fat cat adopted

BLACKWOOD, NJ (WABC) -- Fat, happy and no longer homeless.

That describes life for the 44-pound New Jersey cat who became an overnight sensation.

A vet has found "Prince Chunk" healthy aside from his weight. The big cat doesn't have a thyroid condition, after all.

The vet also has prescribed a high-protein, low-carb diet for the tubby tabby, who is within three pounds of the heaviest on record.

New York's Daily News reports the Camden County Animal Shelter has selected a south Jersey family who already has two cats.

"Prince Chunk" is to move next week.
