If you love football, you can’t wait for Super Bowl Sunday. However, if you prefer four-legged cat-letes, it’s Su-purr Bowl Sunday that you’re looking forward to as the third edition of the much-loved Kitten Bowl is being held.
Kitten Bowl III – which premieres Feb. 7, at 12 p.m. ET, on the Hallmark Channel – has four teams competing to become the champs of the Feline Football League (FFL): Boomer’s Bobcats, North Shore Bengals, Home & Family Felines and Last Hope Lions. The 100 purr-fect players were selected for the big game because they were all looking for their forever homes, which they have now found thanks to the Hallmark Channel, North Shore Animal League America (the nation’s largest no-kill animal shelter and animal adoption organization) and Last Hope Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation (a not-for-profit dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of death-due pound, stray and abandoned animals).
Animal advocate, television presenter and author Beth Stern returns as the host of the extra-special program (the wife of Howard Stern is also the national spokesperson for North Shore Animal League America). Joining her is former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason as the FFL’s Commissioner and play-by-play announcers Mary Carillo (an award-winning sports analyst) and legendary sportscaster John Sterling.
“It’s an entertaining, cute show,” said Sterling, the longtime radio voice of the New York Yankees, in an exclusive interview with Headlines & Global News. “This is going to be the best of all three of the Kitten Bowls!”

Kitten Bowl III premieres Sunday, Feb. 7, at 12 p.m. ET on the Hallmark Channel. Visit the show’s official website and Twitter page for more information.
