Plot Synopsis

As a companion program to Hallmark Channel's annual KITTEN BOWL, CAT BOWL showcases adorable and adoptable adult cat-letes as they compete on the gridiron for a special place in viewers hearts. Inspirational stories of senior and special needs cats highlight the annual event. Because of the partnership between Hallmark Channel and North Shore Animal League American, CAT BOWL and KITTEN BOWL are part of the biggest pet adoption event in America.

The 1st Annual CAT BOWL premiered on Hallmark Channel at 10-11pm ET/PT on Saturday, February 2, 2019, the night before Super Bowl LIII. Beth Stern is the host for the inaugural event, and she's joined by Alison Sweeney and Cameron Mathison for all the play-by-play action. The special also features "Where Are They Meow" stories, which follow up on some former KITTEN BOWL cat-letes, such as Jerry Mice, Puma Esiason, and last year's star, Swirl. North Shore Animal League America and Last Hope Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation drafted the cats for a more heartwarming Senior Bowl than has ever taken place on the gridiron.
