Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 5-year-old Nicholas.

Here is Baypath’s description of Nicholas:

“Meet Nicholas, the Nap Expert! This sweet and gentle soul is on the hunt for a loving forever home where he can perfect his snooze skills and enjoy life at a leisurely pace. With his couch potato tendencies, Nicholas is happiest when relaxing — whether he’s basking in the sun or curled up on the couch — and he adores quiet companionship.

“Although he may start off a bit shy, Nicholas quickly warms up and wiggles his way into your heart, becoming a loyal and affectionate companion. He gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats, and in his previous foster home, he thrived among other animals and proved to be a fantastic house guest. Nicholas is fully house-trained and lets you know when he needs to go outside. He’s a quick learner who responds well to positive reinforcement and, of course, treats.

“While napping is his specialty, Nicholas also enjoys leisurely strolls and would love a family to help him stay active between snoozes. He’s always up for a belly rub or a treat break, making him the ultimate laid-back buddy.

“If you’re looking for a calm, well-mannered companion to brighten your days and turn every day into a cozy Sunday, Nicholas is the perfect match. Come meet him and see how much joy he can bring into your life!”
