quarter with the score,

the North Shore Bengals

seven, the Last Hope Lions,

seven. In case you're just

joining us, let's go back

and review how these two

teams scored in the first

quarter.

Two scores in

the first quarter.

The first by Tabby Romo

pouncing into the end

zone and the second,

Ferrell Owens who caused a

fumble and easily swatted

the mouse across the goal

line. No clear-cut winner

yet, but plenty more

game to be played.

Of course none of

today's events would be

possible without the

enormous help of our

friends at the North Shore

Animal League. North Shore

is the world's largest No

Kill animal rescue and

adoption organization.

Leader in the No Kill

movement, rescuing and

rehabilitating animals

instead of euthanizing

them. They'll be stopping

by later to share

some incredible stories.

And also thanks to Last Hope

Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation

and their work rehabilitating

feral cats and finding them a

safe home.

Last Hope shelters are

run by a volunteer staff who

donate their time to rescue and

rehabilitate animals in need.

Their Fix-A-Feral program

helps offset the cost of

spaying and neutering your pet

to make it affordable for

everyone. So a big Cheer

for them.

Of course all of our

animals here today are

winners. But each and

every one of them is in

need of a good home. So

our goal is to get them

all adopted today. We'll

tell you more about it

later on.

Well personally I'm

looking forward to the

celebrities we've lined

up for tonight. We have

some amazing stars in

store for you.

Rachel Ray.

Nicky Hilton.

The Reg.

Kelly Rutherford.

Hoda Kotb.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Bob Harper.

Rocco DiSpirito.

Mark Steines and

Cristina Ferrare from Hallmark

Channel's Home & Family show.

Hey Kitten Bowl

fans, get off your couch

and make some noise!

Yeah!

And more.

Well I'm looking forward to the

second quarter. Let's get to it.

And we're back

underway for the second

quarter of game number

one. The tempo of this game

seems to be picking up.

Ferrell Owens

back with the ball trying

to make sense of this wildcat

offense.

Pawing towards the goal line,

but stopped at the twenty. The

Bengals will be forced to

attempt a field goal.

Manti Meow going for

the field goal.

And it's good.

Giving the Bengals a ten,

seven lead.

Let's take another look

at that field goal.

Meow soars up through the goal

post, agile as a kitten, John.

Right Renee.

John, don't you just

want to adopt them all? Ugh

can't I just take 'em all home?

Well it'd be a great

idea if they all were adopted,

but I don't know if I want to

become a cat lady.

John the Bengals know

how important this game is and

they do not want to let in

another Lion touchdown.

Crouching into a four-point stance

they ready themselves for the play.

What a tackle by Owens.

Oh wait. There seems to be a

flag on the play.

Penalty. Fluffing the

passer. First down.

Fluffing the passer. I

don't know if I agree with

that call.

Tabby Romo has

possession of the ball

when Owens shellacs him

from behind.

The Lions, trying to capitalize

on that Bengal penalty.

Tabby Romo with

the ball at the fifteen.

Prances into the end zone.

Touchdown!

Owens, clearly unhappy

with the call here, has

some words for the ref.

Romo celebrating

his score. But don't dance

too soon. They're gonna

take a look at this replay

up in the booth.

It's hard to tell from

this angle, Renee.

If you look from this

angle, all he has to do

is get the ball over the

yellow line. And this

looks like a clear-cut

touchdown for Romo.

Touchdown.

And the crowd likes what they see.

A touchdown. And the Last

Hope Lions celebrate.

Lineup for the extra point.

And it's good.

Putting the Last Hope Lions

on top fourteen to ten.

Here's the kick

and the Bengals take

control in their own end zone.

Frantically looking for some

open field. Now this Lions D is

living up to their reputation.

Owens trying to elude a

tackler in the end zone.

That's right, John. If

you wanna bring more fun

and love into your home adopt a

kitten today from your local shelter.

The Bengals are doing

anything they can to get open

but this Lions' defense is

focused.

Great effort by the Lions,

getting the stop they were

looking for, forcing the

Bengals into another field

goal attempt. Looks like

Owens will take the kick.

He's up soaring over the field.

The kick is ... is...

is good!

Owens reaching the goal post to

make the score fourteen, thirteen.

Haha. Well Owens

seems pretty happy with

himself, as the Bengals

celebrate.

Aww. Adorable.

The clock is running down as the

final seconds tick away.

And that will do it

for the first half.

What an exciting first half of

play. With each team really

showing its true colors.

After one half of play

the score is North Shore

Bengals, thirteen. The Last

Hope Lions, fourteen. Now

lets throw it down to Beth.

Alright. Regis

Philbin will be here right

after this.

Joining me now is my

friend, my neighbor and

fellow animal lover, Regis

Philbin. Hey Reg.

How ya doing?

How great is this?

It's great. It really is.

Kitten bowl.

I'm very impressed. I

really am. I think it's a

terrific idea.

The first Kitten Bowl of

its kind and um, it's

incredible.

Yeah.

Kittens all around.

Just something I've

never seen before.

Total cuteness.

And, and a great way to

demonstrate how much fun

they can be.

You have had a wonderful

cat for years and years and

years, Ashley. What

kind of a cat was she?

Well Ashley uh, was uh,

twenty years old when she,

when she finally passed. But

you know I bought it for

uh, my, my little girls and uh,

as they grew up and went to

college or went to a job

uh, Regis inherited the

cat. And, but I got so

attached to the cat. Now

you know I had dogs when I

was a kid. And the dogs

were right there at the

door when you came home.

Not Ashley. Stayed on the

couch and he watched me

and for spite I would stay,

I would get on the other

couch and I would stare

him back. Stare him back.

Sooner or later he would

get up. Walk across his

couch. Go from one uh, end

of the couch to my end of

the couch and come right

up to me.

And whine you over.

Yeah. I mean it was

so, I loved it. It was...

Yeah.

...very moving to me.

Yea. Well for twenty years

for a pet to live that long it's

a part of the family, you know?

Especially a cat. They

don't go that long, do they?

Yeah. Show a picture of

Ashley.

Yeah he was white with

like orange ears.

Yeah. I knew you had a picture. You

always carry this picture. Yeah.

Oh what a beauty. So are
