The organization needs a home for "Doughnut," a male 28-pound domestic shorthair mix.

Jacksonville Humane says Doughnut needs an owner who can help him get to the right weight at the right pace by working with a veterinarian.

Doughnut is 6 years old. He was taken in on Oct. 20.

"We know the extra pounds make him cute but it’s not healthy," Jacksonville Humane said in a Facebook post.
