The Humane Society and SPCA in Pasadena were looking for a good home for Chubbs.
They needed a family willing to put in the time, effort, and money to help him lose a lot of weight.
Chubbs' new owner was happy to take on the challenge.
UPDATE: Chubbs has left the building! Yvette and her husband are so excited to be bringing him home. Thanks for all the loving well wishes to Chubbs! #chubbsthecat pic.twitter.com/kKMWd5UEQ7

Yvette Viola said her "heart melted a little" at the sight of the sizeable cat.
Vets say Chubbs needs to lose half of his body weight to get to a healthy size.

It'll take regular visits to the vet, prescription food and a great deal of exercise.
