Brace Yourselves — the Kitten Bowl Is Nearly Here

Ah, one of our favorite days of the year is finally upon us. Super Bowl Sunday, y'all! But we don't actually care about the big game; we're really just here for the Puppy Bowl and the Kitten Bowl. Airing on Hallmark Channel and hosted by Beth Stern, this year's Kitten Bowl will feature 100 adorable kitties battling it out for the ultimate prize. Just like previous Kitten Bowls, all the cats are adoptable, and, spoiler alert, this year's cats have all already found forever homes.

"As proud as we are of the thousands of animals that have found forever homes because of Kitten Bowl, and many of our other pet-centric programs, we dream of a day when shelters will be empty because every animal has a loving home," said Bill Abbott, president and CEO of Crown Media Family Networks, where Hallmark is the flagship channel.

To gear up for the big event, check out this 360 video of the kittens preparing for the Kitten Bowl, and find even more videos on Hallmark's YouTube channel. To join in all the fun with the kitties, provided by North Shore Animal League America and Last Hope Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation, check out the Kitten Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday at 12 p.m. EST on Hallmark.
