The Story of My Staff…and SHEBA Entrées for Cats

Each one is as different as the four personalities they represent. I cannot say that I own them. Each of them found me and I am so lucky that they did! First, of course, I must introduce you to our CEO, <b>Miss Ozzie</b>. She is a tortoiseshell or “tortie” in coloring and has that “tortietude” that goes along with it! She rules with an iron paw, keeping everyone in line… including me! My daughter brought her home at six weeks old and she has been with us for sixteen years! She even lived in France with me for a year and, as a result, speaks French and loves French cuisine. So it is no surprise that her favorite food is <a href="http://www.blogher.com/clicktracker.php?nid=1543243&cid=1461379&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2FU8Po95" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SHEBA® Chicken Paté Entrée.</a> And I love that because I know that all SHEBA® Patés are meat first, meaning that all SHEBA® Patés start with real beef, poultry, or seafood as the first ingredient. <a href="http://www.blogher.com/clicktracker.php?nid=1543243&cid=1461379&url=http%3A%2F%2Flh4.ggpht.com%2F-xRn77RAftcw%2FUxzhNNZ7_sI%2FAAAAAAAAd9Q%2FVI3PAtPO5hw%2Fs1600-h%2Fkitty_thumb63.jpg"><img alt="Kitty" border="0" height="698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuwGXOxxMD8Prke1qtCowxcAy0SgedoKgqSDlj1NgyIkFQh7hYrMnaHyk0NCTyFV2MvxaxgxbgP-0ToWy-Bp00JbhoiOZZ3ATzNGqOvTbL73GaiOyvPsrEkn44XnplwnRbxfWew677RJ5f/?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Kitty" width="579" /></a>Our <b>Miss Kitty</b> first appeared in our yard after a terrible storm, injured and lost. We planned to keep her while we searched for her home… to no avail. That was fifteen years ago! Needless to say, she found a new home with us and we are so glad she did! Her favorite food is <a href="http://www.blogher.com/clicktracker.php?nid=1543243&cid=1461379&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2FU8Po95" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SHEBA® Salmon Paté Entrée </a>and that makes me happy because I know that all SHEBA® seafood entrées are made with responsibly sourced seafood and fish that follow the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch recommendations. The biggest brands in the category (Friskies, Fancy Feast) do not guarantee their seafood is sustainably sourced. <a href="http://www.blogher.com/clicktracker.php?nid=1543243&cid=1461379&url=http%3A%2F%2Flh6.ggpht.com%2F-EttQxmhXt1g%2FUxzhQSpAKXI%2FAAAAAAAAd9k%2F43GlH-3hA1g%2Fs1600-h%2FBabyKitty3.jpg"><img alt="Baby Kitty" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxjyHbHAvkBs50MNaUU9d8QoPl_SlT8WLfn9X1G1cY9FeDk-Of1oMahKJLlu2LVGmnF0eLFmv_xdk92AmMTNeWYTXUVhqp76o5zid3n2Fk-gjS2DdsGx1-j3wTd9vlg_CIukh0PKsYP7F_/?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Baby Kitty" width="644" /></a>Perhaps the most well-known member of our staff is our co-host<b> Baby Kitty.</b> His story is a special one for us here at the Plate Addict’s since he came to us as a new-born nine years ago. Having been abandoned by his mom, he was bottle-fed from birth by yours truly. As a result, there is a special bond between this handsome fellow and me! :-) Although his name is not manly, his appetite certainly is! His favorite food is <a href="http://www.blogher.com/clicktracker.php?nid=1543243&cid=1461379&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2FU8Po95" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SHEBA® Tuna Cuts</a> in Gravy Entrée and I like that because I know that it is made of real meat as a first ingredient after the broth. It's the perfect food for our super star! <a href="http://www.blogher.com/clicktracker.php?nid=1543243&cid=1461379&url=http%3A%2F%2Flh5.ggpht.com%2F-uHQilhhowWU%2FUxzhTBkUTjI%2FAAAAAAAAd90%2FNq_SCzBVnCI%2Fs1600-h%2FIsabella58.jpg"><img alt="Isabella" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic1uGqWrN6WWLe46LnBaTFyjdMPL_qicmIqdasPvr0Y-p4TcLJK9BLbVrsW2IO87aaGE6QWOaES-AUZAHIT1mJYWBv7r_LXn37Sw3o9oZ_JhRXxbyn8w2xCGzP6qvJcA6qf0OXCe8Ys_AW/?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Isabella" width="644" /></a>And finally, the lovely <b>Miss Isabella</b> is our youngest staff member at eight years old. Like the others, she also found us, having been discovered all alone at six weeks of age in a store parking lot. She is our little beauty queen, reigning as the most vocal with the biggest appetite! As for her favorite SHEBA® entrée, Miss Isabella loves them all! And I love knowing that all SHEBA® recipes are formulated without grains, corn, or gluten, and have no artificial flavors or preservatives. None of the other big mainstream wet cat food brands (Fancy Feast, Friskies, 9 Lives, Meow Mix) can say that! There are three different lines to choose from… not only Premium Patés, but also Cuts in Gravy and GRAVY DESIRES™ entrées as well, each featuring recipes made from carefully selected, quality ingredients.  And your cat is guaranteed to love them or you will get your money back! Now that is hard to beat!
