A castle to fit Prince Chunk

Fat Cat Prince Chunk

New Jersey's most famous fat cat, dubbed Prince Chuck, got a clean bill of health -- and new digs.

"Aside from being grossly obese, the cat is completely healthy," Catherine Harr, board president of the Camden County Animal Shelter told the Daily News Thursday after the 44-pound feline's blood test results were reviewed. "No diabetes. No thyroid problem. Nothing. He was obviously overfed."

Chunk's flawless test results came as a southern New Jersey family was selected to take in the portly pussycat who has captivated the nation. The anonymous family has two cats of their own and are elated over the news they landed the 10-year-old tabby.

"The father is actually building Chunk a castle over his litter box," Harr said. "He'll definitely be treated like a prince."

The un-finicky feline wound up at the Camden shelter two weeks ago after his owner, Donna Oklatner of Voorhes, lost her home to foreclosure.
