Cat Bowl 2019: When, Where To Watch Online, TV Before Super Bowl

Hallmark Channel’s been putting on the “Kitten Bowl” for a few years now, but, this year, they’re airing the first-ever annual “Cat Bowl,” as well.

This event, which premieres Saturday night, is part of Adoption Ever After, the network’s initiative to help animals all across America get adopted.

“‘Cat Bowl’ will showcase adorable and adoptable adult ‘cat-letes’ as they compete on the gridiron for a special place in viewers hearts,” the synopsis explains. “Inspirational stories of senior and special needs cats will highlight the special event.”

The synopsis continues: “The special will also feature Where Are They Meow, stories that follow up on some former ‘Kitten Bowl’” cat-letes such as Jerry Mice, Puma Esiason and last year’s star, Swirl.”

Hallmark’s “Cat Bowl,” airing the night before the 2019 Super Bowl, and “Kitten Bowl,” broadcasting on the big day, will help make up the biggest pet adoption event in the country. From February 2 to 16, over 500 shelter partners will promote local animals up for adoption.

TV personality Beth Stern will host the event from Hallmark Channel Stadium, where she’ll be joined by two announcers — “The Chronicle Mysteries” star Alison Sweeney and “Home & Family” co-host Cameron Mathison —who will be breaking down all the cat-tastic action.

Information about where you can adopt the cats you see participating in the program, and the many others who are not, can be found on Hallmark’s website.

You can watch the 2019 “Cat Bowl” on Saturday at 10 p.m. EST on TV on Hallmark Channel or via a live stream of it online on Hallmark Channel Everywhere.
