Uber Delivering Kittens In Honor Of National Cat Day, #UberKittens And #NationalCatDay Trend On Twitter


In honor of National Cat Day, Uber will be offering kitten deliveries. That’s right, you can order a special playmate for just a $30 “snuggle fee.” Just open your Uber app and request a kitten between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and a sweet pair of kittens will show up at your home or office for 15 minuted of “cuddle time.”

Animal shelters across the country have partnered with the app to bring the cuddly kittens to your home. A representative from each of the shelters will accompany the kitten while you have your 15 minutes of fun.

Uber describes the program on their website.

“It’s just a $30 ‘snuggle fee’ for the best 15 minutes of your day and we will turn around and support the participating shelters! If you’re smitten for a kitten or are looking for a new purr-sonal assistant just ask the local shelter representative assisting with your kitten delivery. We’ve helped over 30 kittens find their forever homes through UberKITTENS and this year, we hope to find every eligible kitten a home!… If you’re lucky enough to request kittens to your office, please make sure your boss or building is going to be cool with the meows and that no one in the area is allergic. Also, having a dedicated room for kitten playtime is preferred.”

While adoptions are not allowed spot on, any person who would like to adopt one of the kittens can lay claim to them and can visit the animal shelter later that day to discuss the adoption options.

Uber also has a page where you can view your #UberKITTENS Cat-idates. Featured are Kitty Baxter, Tabby Katznelson, Hunter Byrd, and Reggie Lyon. Click here to check out their profiles.

The #Uberkittens event has been a huge success since its conception, with many cities in the United States and Canada jumping at the chance to participate. This year marks the first year that Los Angeles and Orange County is taking part in the event with three shelters (Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats, Heaven On Earth Society for Animals, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals L.A.). All of the proceeds from SoCal #UberKITTENS visits will go directly to the shelters.
