ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. -- If you couldn't get enough of the "Baby Yoda" craze, wait until you get a look at a rescue cat coming out of North Carolina.

With beady eyes and long-pointed ears, the cat looks oddly similar to the breakout star from the "Star Wars: The Mandalorian" series.

The Disney Plus character is officially listed as "The Child" but fans have dubbed him Baby Yoda.
