Hallmark Channel once again partners with North Shore Animal League America and Last Hope Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation, who will provide over 90 adoptable CAT-letes participating in season games and "Kitten Bowl II." All kittens part of the FFL will be adopted out immediately following the games.

"We are so excited to kick off the first official Feline Football League season and build upon the hugely successful Kitten Bowl franchise, which not only provides entertainment but also promotes awareness and the critical message to adopt the beautiful, loving animals available at your local shelter and not shop," said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President of Programming, Crown Media Family Networks.
