About Gopher

Gopher is a handsome Siamese mix with soft gray, white, and tabby markings, along with a sweet and gentle personality to match. He enjoys stretching out on his favorite bed, soaking up cozy moments, and taking in the world around him at his own pace. He loves being pampered too — the grooming glove is definitely a favorite! With his gentle nature and laid-back charm, Gopher would make a wonderful companion for a loving home. If you'd like to meet Gopher, please drop by the Woburn PetSmart, 114A Commerce Way, during our adoption hours: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 6pm-8pm and Sunday 12pm-2pm. ***For same-day adoption, please fill out the pre-screen by copying/pasting the following link into your browser: https://bit.ly/3yRGpMD Be sure to check our Instagram @brokentailrescue for updates!

About Siamese Cats

Siamese cats are strikingly beautiful, highly vocal, and intensely social companions. Known for their piercing blue eyes, sleek bodies, and distinctive color points, they're one of the most recognizable cat breeds in the world. Siamese cats crave attention and will happily tell you all about their day.

Adopting a Siamese means gaining a talkative, affectionate companion who bonds deeply with their people. They're intelligent, playful, and thrive on interaction. If you're looking for a cat with personality to spare who will always keep you company, a Siamese is an ideal match.
