Brandywine Valley SPCA hosting ‘Kitten Bowl’ party

WEST CHESTER >> Brandywine Valley SPCA is joining North Shore Animal League America, and more than 500 shelter partners across the country, to celebrate Hallmark Channel’s Kitten Bowl VII game.

A Kitten Bowl Party will be held at its West Chester campus, 1212 Phoenixville Pike, West Chester, on Saturday, Feb. 1 and Sunday, Feb. 2, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

The party will feature giveaways and adoptable animals. The highlight is finding these animals home so all fees will be waived on adoptable cats and kittens to approved adopters throughout the weekend.

Kitten Bowl is the greatest feline football showdown in cable television history and has resulted in more than 40,000 shelter pet adoptions since its premiere in 2014. The competition will be hosted by North Shore Animal League America’s Foster Mom, National Spokesperson, and Board of Directors member Beth Stern. Fourtime Pro Bowl quarterback and Feline Football League (FFL) Commissioner Boomer Esiason and former NFL running back Rashad Jennings will be on hand to offer commentary on every adorable moment of furflying kitten play-off action. The broadcast will also feature off-field antics featuring our North Shore Animal League America puppy friends.

The second annual Cat Bowl, featuring senior and special needs felines, will premiere on Saturday, Feb. 1, at 11 p.m., on Hallmark Channel. Kitten Bowl VII will premiere Su-PURR Bowl Sunday, Feb. 2, at 2 p.m., on Hallmark Channel.

North Shore Animal League America and their participating shelter partners across the country will be hosting Kitten Bowl Parties. The shelter partners which adopt out the most animals during this promotion.

All of the players who played in the actual Kitten Bowl competition have since found loving homes through Hallmark Channel’s partnership with North Shore Animal League America – the world’s largest no-kill, rescue, and animal adoption organization. However, there are plenty of fabulous felines (canines, too!) at your local shelter waiting to find their forever homes.
