The Kitten Bowl is the greatest feline football showdown in cable television history and has resulted in more than 1,800 adoptions nationwide over the past three years. The competition will be hosted by North Shore Animal League America’s volunteer, foster mom and national spokesperson Beth Stern, who will be joined by Peabody Award-winning reporter Mary Carillo, the voice of the New York Yankees John Sterling, and four-time Pro Bowl quarterback and Feline Football League Commissioner (FFL) Boomer Esiason to capture every adorable moment of fleet-footed, fur-flying kitten playoff. Kitten Bowl IV will premiere Su-PURR Bowl Sunday, Feb. 5, 2017, 11 a.m. CST, on Hallmark Channel.
All of the players in the actual Kitten Bowl competition have found loving homes through Hallmark Channel’s partnership with North Shore Animal League America – the world’s largest no-kill, rescue and animal adoption organization. However, there are plenty of fabulous felines available at Operation Kindness waiting to find their new, loving homes.
