Iris's Info...
| Breed: | Domestic Shorthair | Color: | Brown Tabby | Age: | Adult |
| Sex: | Female | Hair: | Short |
Iris was adopted from us two years ago. Her people were moving and could not take her with them. She is as sweet as can be and will be a wonderful companion to the purrson who understands and respects the fact that she does not like to be picked up! She will sit with you, wrap herself around your legs, purr, knead, but don't pick her up. Our guess ... something left over from her feral beginnings two years ago. We all have our quirks.

Rescue Group Info...
Our Mission: The Chesapeake Humane Society works to promote the welfare of companion animals through programs and initiatives that reduce pet overpopulation, increase adoptions and encourage responsible pet guardianship through affordable pet care.
Our vision is to help pets and the people who love them find each other and stay together.
Several of our cats are featured for adoption at the Petco in Newport News on Jefferson Ave.
We also have adoption events schedules for the following dates/locations:

You are welcome to visit the animals in our boutique shelter on a walk-in basis Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 8AM to 4PM; Wednesday 10AM to 6PM; Friday 10AM-3PM. Feel free to call for an appointment for other days and times.
We pride ourselves on offering one-on-one private adoption counseling. Once you have completed your adoption application (available at our front desk) an adoption counselor will contact you for a private interview.
Our adoption fees and requirements vary based on each individual animals needs. We work hand-in-hand with our adoption clients and hand-in-paw with our pets to make the best adoption matches.
In spite of our efforts, we understand that sometimes relationships fail. If at any time an adopter needs assistance with their new family member or finds it necessary to return their companion animal, we will respectfully work with that client to determine the best outcome for the animal.
Chesapeake Humane Society supports the residents of Chesapeake and the city’s homeless and owned animals by providing high quality, low cost spay/neuter, vaccinations, pet medications, adoptions and behavior help. In addition we provide medical treatment to shelter animals in immediate need and facilitate off-site adoptions on behalf of Chesapeake Animal Services increasing the Live Release Rate of animals from the City shelter. In 2010, we cared for over 4,000 animals.
