Coinciding with the release of Taylor Swift's latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, Uber Eats launched Uber Showcats pop-ups in New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville to help people discover rescued cats available for adoption.
Taylor Swift is a well-known cat lover, and many Swifties share an affection for feline friends—or aspire to become pet parents. This experience from Uber Eats and Best Friends Animal Society leans into the theatrical nature of the global artist's 12th album, not only by giving adoptable cats their time in the spotlight but also giving people the chance to create complimentary jewelry like friendship bracelets and bejeweled cat collars, snap photos in a custom photo booth, and get spoiled with treats like cookies.
