Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 1-year-old Porcini.

Here is Baypath’s description of Porcini:

“Porcini is a handsome, gentle sweetheart looking for a patient family to help him feel safe and loved. He may be a little shy at first, but once he gets comfortable, he turns into a purring machine who loves gentle pets, head scratches, Churus and playtime with wand toys.

“One of Porcini’s favorite things is spending time with other cats! He loves cuddling with his feline friends and would be especially happy with a friendly cat sibling to show him the ropes (bonus points if they like to cuddle, too!).

“Porcini may need a little time to warm up, but give him the chance and you’ll discover a sweet, affectionate guy with so much love to give.”

For more information on Porcini and any of the other available pets at Baypath, email adopt@baypathhumane.org or visit baypathhumane.org/adopt.
