Chonky Orange Cat Named 'Pumpkin' Looks Just Like Emma Stone, and We Can't Unsee It

Some dogs can resemble famous animated characters or canine film stars. I've always thought my Pug mix looks like Simba from Disney's The Lion King. He has the same honey-hued coat, dark brown eyes, and sassy personality. Simba grew up into a majestic lion, where my pup will always remain an adorable cub cutie.

This orange cat named Pumpkin was recently brought to the SPCA Cincinnati rescue and has become a social media favorite. Some find she gives off major Emma Stone vibes thanks to her fiery colored fur and striking eyes.

Chris Seelback, President and CEO of SPCA Cincinnati, recently shared a TikTok post to give an update on Pumpkin. He immediately began fostering the sweet kitty as soon as she arrived at the shelter.

"I have good and bad news," he began as Pumpkin sat on his lap, then gave a report from the rescue's medical team. "All of her bloodwork, all of her testing came back and it's completely normal... She's healthy in terms of bloodwork. I think they took some X-rays - all of it came back normal."

Then Seelback revealed the not-so-positive information, which had to do with her size.

"The bad news is, she's not losing any weight," he said. "We don't know why. We are not feeding her, hardly at all... She does not have much physical activity, but we're trying."

Followers fell in love with Pumpkin and noted her resemblance to a famous redhead as well as an iconic cartoon cat. She even got a request for romance.

"She looks like Emma stone," one pointed out.

"Baby, that's a squishmellow," another remarked.

"Garfield perhaps?" a follower suggested.

"My cat would like to ask Pumpkin on a date," someone revealed.

Pumpkin's Rescue Story

Pumpkin arrived at the SPCA Cincinnati rescue when her parent passed away and was in horrific condition. She had previously been spayed and ear-tipped, revealing she had lived outside and on her own at some point. When Pumpkin was brought to the rescue, she was very dirty and so obese that she had to be wheeled inside.

Pumpkin was a hit with everyone she met, and Seelback was smitten the moment he met her. He brought Pumpkin home as a foster to join the rest of his feline pack and is now committed to her recovery. Pumpkin is on a special diet, and Seelback is researching safe forms of exercise for his "foster daughter" to begin.

The pretty kitty is definitely in wonderful hands with Seelback and seems to already feel right at home.

"She's happy," Seelback reported, and even hinted that Pumpkin may become a permanent member of his family. "She's settling in well... We just need to get her to lose some weight."
