A little black cat about 2 weeks old was found in our neighborhood and fostered by our vet who lives across the street from our neighborhood. One day their grandson came over after school and saw the new kitten, and he asked if they had a new kitten. The vet said no, they were just taking care of him until he could eat on his own since he was found all alone.

The grandson said that his name should be Fender because he was fending for himself! My husband is a "motorhead" so we were happy to keep the name.
