🐾 The Golden Years Glow
Listen up, hoomans — kittens are cute, sure. But senior cats? They’ve perfected the art of love. They know who they are, what they want, and how to make you feel like the most important person in the world.
At York SPCA in Pennsylvania, three very special ladies — Bug, Midnight, and Delilah — are looking for loving homes where they can enjoy their golden years in peace, comfort, and companionship.
And yes, they’re all hospice adoptions with $0 fees. Which means the only thing you’re paying with… is your heart. 💛

🐞 Bug: Sweetness with a Side of Sass
Callie here. At 14 years young, Bug has mastered the balance of affection and independence. She’s a calico queen who enjoys attention on her terms, and she’s not afraid to let you know when she needs a little “me time.”
Bug lives with osteoarthritis, so she appreciates soft spots to nap, a gentle routine, and a calm home. She may move slower these days, but her heart is quick to love. Give her patience, and she’ll reward you with quiet companionship, head boops, and the occasional slow-blink approval.
Why you’ll love her:
Perfect mix of sugar and spice
Content with a low-stress lifestyle
Low-maintenance cuddle buddy
If you’ve been searching for a seasoned soul to share your couch, Bug’s your girl.
🌙 Midnight: The Gentle Soul

Seymour reporting. Midnight is 16 years young and the definition of elegance. She’s all sleek black fur and calm confidence… once she gets to know you.
She can be shy at first, but with patience, her trust blossoms into deep affection. Midnight prefers to be the only cat in a home, and because she’s so gentle and reserved, she’d do best without small children.
Why you’ll love her:
Quiet and loyal
Appreciates soft pets and cozy napping spots
A purr that can melt stress away
If you believe in second chances and the quiet magic of senior cats, Midnight is waiting to meet you.
🌸 Delilah: The Wise Old Soul

Mama here. At 18 years old, Delilah is living proof that love gets better with age. She’s a petite calico sweetheart with kidney disease, well-managed through a prescription diet and regular care.
Delilah isn’t looking for much — just a calm, understanding home where she can spend her golden years curled up next to someone who sees the beauty in adopting a senior sweetheart.
Why you’ll love her:
Deep, soulful companionship
Low-key and gentle
Thriving on her special diet and care routine
She’s ready to give every ounce of her love to the person who gives her a soft place to land.
💛 Why Adopt a Senior or Hospice Cat?
Yebba here — let’s break down why you should adopt a senior or hospice cat:
They’re already litter trained.
They’re calm, appreciative, and drama-free.
You’re giving them the gift of love and comfort when they need it most.
And honestly? The bond you’ll form with a senior rescue is unlike anything else.
