But the Internet seemed to think that Corey more closely resembled Driver.

It worked for one cat, Corey, an Oriental Shorthair, whose apparent similarity to Adam Driver, one of the actors in Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens, found him a new home.
Driver has yet to respond to his feline doppelgänger, but the cat has already been adopted.
And, thanks to the social media storm he created, the cat lived happily ever after.
“Tell me this cat doesn’t look like Adam Driver”, Robin said in a tweet. As previously mentioned, Adam Driver is a human actor.
Kylo Ren the cat has an Instagram account for those wanting to see if he ever comes back to light side of the force. “A woman saw his photo on Facebook and instantly fell in love”. “He went viral. We’re not used to things like that”.
Corey starred in his own movie-kind of-and has a new life and now he even has a new name-Cat_amdriver, according to McCombs’ article.

With her heart set on bringing Corey into her family, McCombs convinced a friend to drive her from Brooklyn to the shelter in New Jersey – only to find out that someone else had come for the same reason 20 minutes earlier. Per the Monmouth County SPCA, Corey is still available for adoption, but given his new fame, he will hopefully have a new home soon.
