Uber, the ride-sharing company known for their on-demand transportation app, is offering a different sort of service Friday.

They have partnered with pet-adoption agency Great Plains SPCA for UberKITTENS, a 15-minute offer to snuggle with kittens.

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, kittens will be delivered on demand to offices throughout Kansas City. A $30 snuggle fee will help support Great Plains SPCA.

The goal, organizers said, is to entice people to adopt the cute little creatures, who will be in high demand on Friday.

HOW IT WORKS

To get your paws on a kitten during UberKITTENS:

▪ Fire up your app from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday

▪ Slide right at the bottom of your screen and select the ‘KITTENS’ option

▪ Request. If matched, you and your colleagues will have 15 minutes of kitten snuggle time

▪ Kittens can only be delivered to offices. Make sure to have an enclosed space for playtime. And check to make sure the building is pro-kittens and no one is allergic
