"We are honored that Best Friends ANIMAL Society has agreed to partner with Hallmark Channel's Pet Project around Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month and feel that Home & Family is an ideal national platform to educate the public about the importance and rewards of adoption," said Michelle Vicary, EVP, programming & network publicity, Crown Media Family Networks. "The majority of the nearly 4 million perfectly healthy and loveable pets that are needlessly euthanized each year are cats and kittens and it is our hope that this campaign will make a difference by mobilizing people to visit their local shelters and give these wonderful animals the forever homes they so deserve."
