We’re thrilled to officially introduce our two newest foster kittens—but first, let’s talk about how we got here!
Meet Frida and Diego (Formerly Selah and Paige… Wait, What?)
We were going to announce two sweet little girls named Selah and Paige—after two of Iris’ classmates who were in the Beetlejuice Jr. school play with her this year (their last year at elementary school!). But in a classic foster kitten twist, we recently discovered that “Paige” is actually a boy! So, Amanda renamed our dynamic duo after another famous pair: Frida and Diego, inspired by the iconic artist couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. (Frida has long been one of Amanda’s favorite artists, so the name fits perfectly!)
Who’s who and how
Both kittens are black and white, but with very different markings:
- Frida is a sleek tuxedo cat, mostly black with a dapper white neck and paws.
- Diego is a “cow cat”—more white with bold black patches, like a miniature Holstein.
When they arrived at just two weeks old, both had minor kitty colds and goopy, crusty eyes. We’ve been treating them with Terramycin, an antibiotic ointment that looks a bit like Vaseline. So if you tune into our streams and notice something shiny or gel-like around their eyes—don’t worry! It’s just the medicine doing its job.
The good news? Their eyes are already improving, and beyond that, these two are thriving.
Bottle Babies Who Mean Business
These little ones are bottle-fed pros—they eat like champs, gaining weight quickly and latching better than any fosters we’ve had recently, for the most part… Diego chews a lot. But It’s a relief to see them so strong and hungry!
Want to see them in action? Here’s a clip from one of their recent feedings:
Their healthy appetites give us high hopes for their growth and development. We’ll keep monitoring their eyes, but so far, they’re on the right track!
Where to Follow Their Journey
As always, you can catch Frida and Diego’s daily adventures on our live streams across platforms:
We’re especially loving Moonbeam’s interactive features—it’s been a fantastic space to connect with other animal lovers.
