Madame Tussauds San Francisco unveiled their new wax figure of Taylor Swift and it looks exactly like her. The figure was unveiled on Wednesday, Nov. 8. and it was covered in kittens which can be adopted. Madame Tussauds teamed up with the Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue for a launch featuring cats who are looking for forever-homes. According to the San Fransisco location’s general manager, Dalia Goldgor, Madame Tussauds was inspired to collaborate with the cat adoption agency because of Taylor’s unwavering love for her own Insta-famous cats, Meredith and Olivia.

The mother of two, who was recently unveiled as the Ambassador for the Eye bank of Nigeria says the donation will take effect from the moment she dies.
