A cat who found brief internet fame due to his uncanny resemblance to Star Wars actor Adam Driver now has a new home.
The Monmouth County SPCA in New Jersey tweeted a photo of Corey, an unusual-looking tom cat with a long, narrow face and unique ears. XO Vain editor Marci Robin tweeted it with the suggestion that it looked like Adam Driver, aka Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Emily McCombs spotted the tweet and fell in love with the handsome feline. Despite the challenges of living in New York City and adopting a cat in New Jersey, she managed it. She renamed the cat Kylo (of course) and although she is well aware of the potential marketing possibilities, she writes, "I didn’t adopt Corey because he was going viral on the Internet. I adopted him because I loved him."
