Remember this fat little beast? Prince Chunk became a media sensation when his owner lost her home to foreclosure and set him loose on the streets of Camden, N.J. When His Royal Chunkiness was rescued, he weighed in at a whopping 44 lbs., which was nearly a world record.
His "forever family," the Damianis of Washington Township, N.J., say that the scale was broken and that Prince Chunk weighed 23 lbs. when they got him.
It doesn't take much, however, to see that he's still a tubcat of the highest order.
Now the Damianis (who beat out 500 other applicants to adopt Chunk) want to start the Prince Chunk Foundation, which would help people continue to take care of their pets during the economic downturn by giving them vouchers for pet food and emergency veterinarian services.
Prince Chunk shares his home with three dogs and one other cat, which he could easily smother to death with one of his hind legs.

my cat weigh in at 26 lbs. I adopted her from Popcorn Zoo. She was there for almost a year, No one wanted an older fat cat who could not clean herself. She could not even walk without falling over. With a little love a lot cleaning, exersize and diet she is a honey. The best cat ever. She is now 21 lbs and still cannot clean herselp but who cares. Would not trade her in for the world.

I got my precious Pudd'ntan from a Rescue. I encourage everyone out there who is thinking of getting a pet and want to save an animal and have a specific bread or type in mind, please just look it up on the internet. There are rescues for every kind of animal you can think of, literally! You don't have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to a breeder for a purebred either. There are many Rescues that specialize in purebred animals. My little Pudd'n is a purebred Persian and I only paid $125.00 because I got him from a rescue. If I had gotten him from a breeder, I would have had to pay at least $550.00 or more for him. And check your local shelters also because they will also have purebred animals as well, but you have to be fast because the rescues search the shelters daily to make sure that their breeds don't get euthanized. That and it's much cheaper to get an animal through a shelter than a rescue ( shelter's range anywhere from $10.00-$100.00 per animal and that includes spaying or neutering. Most rescues start at $175.00-$200.00 and go up).
