But before you panic about what happens to the kitty after the bell strikes, the concept is totally animal friendly.

Pretty much any workday could be brightened by a few minutes of romping kittens, and the car-sharing company Uber is making it happen. Now nearly 50 cities across North America participate in the event which raises money for local animal shelters in each city. It costs $30 for 15 minutes of “snuggle time”, said Uber’s Laura Zapata. While there’s no word yet if your kitten delivery will come with an in-car dance party, cats are probably more than enough distraction for a single day. Hurley suggests you double-check with your boss, though, before you request a carful of kittens.
If all goes well, people can apply to adopt the kittens on the spot, Uber representatives stated.
Uber and local animal groups have a purr-fect opportunity.
The news has sent social media into overdrive, with one Twitter user writing: “This makes me explode with joy”. Drivers will deliver the kittens from LA/SPCA locations to users who request them for 15-minute sessions.
And if you enjoy the kitten kompany, the kittens are eligible for adoption!
This is the third year for UberKittens.
