Some good news: Doughnut the 28-pound cat has a new home

Look at this CHONK.

Move over Bruno: Another thicc cat's found his happy home.

The enormous 28-pound cat's name is Doughnut, and the internet fell in love with him on Friday when the Jacksonville Humane Society posted photos of him on Facebook.

According to the original post showing off all of Doughnut's curves, one requirement for his new home was "an owner who is willing to keep him on his strict diet." They acknowledged that while many of us might like a chunky cat, it's really not very healthy for Doughnut to be that overweight.

"His new family will need to work with a vet to get him to the right weight at the right pace," the post stressed.

But all is well, according to a recent Facebook update sharing that Doughnut is now in a happy home with a new owner. The Jacksonville Humane Society Facebook page said that pictures of the cat in his new home will be posted soon.

Hopefully by the time we get new photos of Doughnut, he'll look a little slimmer. After all, a healthy cat is a happy cat.

We all wish Doughnut the best of luck on his weight-loss journey.
