Please press paws on everything you’re doing. It’s time to boost your mood with some purrfect feline excellence courtesy of Hallmark Channel’s Kitten Bowl V, a heartwarming pet adoption extravaganza. The fifth annual event of its kind, the Kitten Bowl put cat-letes of unparalleled quality to the test. Four furry teams competed against each other to pounce on the ultimate grand prize: Little Longtails, Last Hope Lions, Pouncy Panthers, and North Shore Bengals.
The meowstacular contestants were kittens rescued from hurricane-devastated areas of the United States in 2017. Bonzai, Boots, Macaroni–these are just a few of the intrepid players who pranced onto the Kitten Bowl field and into the hearts of viewers. Every cat got championship-sized treats regardless of their purrformances because they were all adopted. Aww!
We’re going to review a some of the highlights right meow. Yes, you’re going to say “Aww!” several more times.
