Bio coming soon... 

Sheeba's life as a clinic cat began in April of 2009. She left behind her former life of hiding between hay bales in a barn to keep us company and warm the hearts of all those that she meets. She spends her days lounging in luxury, looting lunches, and complaining to anyone who listens that she is starving and that no one has fed her (at least in the last 5 minutes).
