44-Pound Cat Finds New Home
BLACKWOOD, N.J. (CBS) ―
A hefty 44-pound cat found wandering southern New Jersey is said to be living large in a new home.
A Garden State family reportedly adopted the 44-pound feline. The new owners were selected from more than 100 applications.
Vince Damiani at the Camden County Animal Shelter said workers there had nearly 150 applications to consider before deciding on a family to adopt.
Powder's previous owner had to give him up because she lost her home and could no longer take care of him.
