# Charitable Cat Deliveries Uber is Delivering Cats On National Cat Day By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-10-29 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-national-cat-day References: [usatoday](http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2014/10/29/uber-cats-national-cat-day/18118641/) & [blog.uber](https://blog.uber.com/KITTENS) [Uber's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-courier-carolers) deliveries are about to get a whole lot more adorable -- on the momentous occasion of National Cat Day, the San Francisco-based [ridesharing service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accommodating-passangers) is delivering cats for people to snuggle with. Residents of seven select cities -- San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Washington D.C., Seattle, Phoenix and Austin -- will be able to fork out $30 for 15 minutes of snuggling time with a furry feline. The price may seem steep, but all proceeds from the initiative -- dubbed UberKITTENS -- go towards [local cat shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/take-your-cat-to-the-vet). The $30 fee is a minimum -- users are welcome to donate more. The deliveries will be available on National Cat Day from noon to 4 pm. All you have to do is open the Uber app on your smartphone and select the 'KITTENS' option. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Charity](https://www.trendhunter.com/charity) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cat Delivery Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a platform that connects cat lovers with local shelters for cat adoption and delivery services. - **On-demand Pet Snuggling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create an app that allows people to request on-demand pet snuggling services, providing comfort and companionship for those in need. - **Charitable Collaborations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with ride-sharing companies to create charity initiatives that raise funds and awareness for local animal shelters. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Adoption:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize technology to streamline and improve the pet adoption process, making it easier for individuals to find and adopt their perfect pet. - **On-demand Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expand on-demand services beyond just transportation and delivery, offering on-demand pet-related services like grooming, training, and veterinary care. - **Nonprofit and Charitable Organizations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement innovative technologies and platforms to enhance fundraising efforts and increase awareness for nonprofit and charitable organizations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [On-Demand Holiday Carolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-courier-carolers.md) - [Big-Screen Cat Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inaba.md) - [Australian Dog Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petbarn.md) - [Pet-Friendly Rideshare Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-rides.md) - [On-Demand Festive Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-holiday-hub.md) - [Pet-Themed Branding Initatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puppy-bowls.md) - [Halloween-Themed Delivery Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-halloweens.md) - [Cat-Themed Vday Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuddle-collection.md) - [Game-Based Pet Adoption Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamebased-pet-adoption-event.md)
