While you’re waiting for tonight’s Super Bowl to start, tune into the Hallmark Channel to watch Kitten Bowl II!
Hosted by Beth Stern, the second annual event will feature over 90 shelter kittens in a mock football game, complete with player stats, commentary, and celebrity guests.
Epic cuteness does not even begin to describe Kitten Bowl! The event is designed to bring awareness to the millions of shelter cats waiting for their forever home. All of today’s participating CAT-letes will be adopted out immediately following the games.
Hallmark Channel will be re-running Kitten Bowl II all day, so if you miss the first airing, you can still catch it later on!
This year’s kittens come from North Shore Animal League America, Last Hope Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation, and All About Cats Rescue and Adoption Center, so be sure to visit their sites and if you can, adopt a shelter animal. (If you can’t, consider sending a donation – every dollar helps!)
Get ready for the biggest feline football sports competition in history! Returning to Hallmark Channel in 2015, “Kitten Bowl II” premieres Sunday, February 1 at 12/11c. TV Personality and North Shore Animal League America spokesperson Beth Stern will be back to host the championship game, alongside legendary, iconic radio voice of the New York Yankees John Sterling as the game’s official play-by-play announcer. North Shore Animal League America and Last Hope Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation will provide over 90 adoptable CAT-letes participating, and all kittens part of the Feline Football League will be adopted out immediately following the games.
The teams will consist of the cutest, agile and, most importantly, adoptable kittens. The kittens will be joined by celebrities and personalities from all facets of the entertainment world as the kittens compete on obstacle courses filled with lures such as yarn balls, lasers, and toys on string.
All of the cats at the Geeks Of Doom headquarters were either rescued feral cats or adopted from shelters, including our most recent additions, Lita and Joan (see photo below). Lita (white and gray) and Joan (black) were adopted from the All About Cats rescue shelter in Freeport, NY, where the animals are NOT kept in cages, which is so wonderful. I highly recommend visiting there and playing with all the adorable, irresistible felines.
