A fat cat found in Georgia (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

savannah

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in georgia' is the definition.
('Savannah' is part of 'georgia')

'a fat cat' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'found' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for savannah that I've seen before include "African grassland" , "US port" , "Flat grassland in hot regions" , "A grassy plain in hot regions with no trees" , "Flat grassland in tropical or subtropical regions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
