FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is there a sticker covering the SHEBA box?
The SHEBA brand has a longstanding commitment to supporting the restoration of coral reefs and protecting our oceans. Back in July 2023, we announced a partnership with Kuleana Coral Reefs. Since then, we’ve helped Kuleana Coral Reefs accelerate their work to the broader Hawaiian archipelago – increasing from 10 to 30 sites across O’ahu and Maui, and there’s more to come! We got so excited to announce what comes next that we moved too quickly. The black sticker is a temporary solve until we’re ready to publicly share more information about the next phase of our partnership with Kuleana Coral Reefs. We remain dedicated to this important mission and look forward to many more years of providing your beloved feline companions with high-quality and nutritious food. To learn more about playing a powerful part in restoring the ocean’s natural beauty, please visit our website at www.SHEBAHopeGrows.com.
Why can’t I find my favorite SHEBA products in stores or online?
On behalf of the team at SHEBA, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has brought to both you and your feline friend at home. The issue here is two-fold: First, so many new pet parents have welcomed new cats into their homes and have wanted to feed their new additions high-quality SHEBA food. This is a lovely problem to have. Second (and less lovely), the pandemic has also meant unprecedented constraints on our supply chain and has resulted in a shortage of our beloved wet cat foods that we had not anticipated. We appreciate your patience as we work toward bringing our SHEBA Brand Recipes to you quickly and ensuring your cats get the nutrition they deserve.
Get the full scoop on how we’re handling the SHEBA cat food shortage and our solutions, and as always, you can shop multiple retailers at once via our website .
