Camden County Animal Control Officer Jim McCleery got the call on Friday. There was a stray 44 pound cat prowling on a patio in the Ashley Run condominium development.
"We picked him up and I knew from the get-go it wouldn't fit in the regular cat carrier, so we had to put him in a dog carrier ... it was a big cat, the biggest one this year," said McCleery, of the Camden County Joint Municipal Animal Control Program.
Employees at Camden County Animal Shelter called the feline "Captain Chunk." Realizing she was female, the name was quickly changed to "Princess Chunk." Her "foster mom" - shelter volunteer Deborah Wright - calls her "Princess Chunky."
As the shelter seeks to find the feline's owner, Princess Chunky is now in "foster care" at Wright's Sicklerville home. She is fed only wet and dry cat food.
Wright is trying to develop an exercise routine for the orange and white, short-haired domestic cat, estimated to be about 4 years old.
