In the spirit of sports season in the US, the SHEBA® brand is hosting an exciting and unique event called "The Gravy Race," featuring some of the internet's most beloved cats in a thrilling competition to see who loves gravy the most. The event, developed in collaboration with AMV BBDO, aims to showcase the new SHEBA® GRAVY INDULGENCE™ Entrées while providing entertainment for cat lovers everywhere.
