Uber knows how to do publicity stunts, this time celebrating National Cat Day with a delivery service that encourages users to adopt kittens. The service has grown since last year, when it delivered cats in seven American cities, while this year it has increased to 50.
This on-demand cat delivery service is no joke -- it's offered between 11 AM and 3 PM and charges $30 for 15 minutes of loving, purring joy with the young felines. There are shelter representatives helping with each delivery that will be more than happy to set people up to adopt kittens.
Great for a break at the office or to cheer up someone on a gloomy day, the representatives only ask that no one is allergic and there is a set up playroom for the adorable cats.
