When a call comes into the Animal Hospital of Cotati these days, it's anyone's guess where in the United States the call is coming from. What is certain is that the call is about Adam, the now-famous burned, but recovering kitten.

To track Adam's notoriety, hospital staff has begun keeping a map of the United States, using a yellow highlighter to check off the particular state the call is coming from.

"Ninety percent of all the calls I've gotten, about 100 of them, have been about Adam," said Heather Rommel, a hospital receptionist.
Rommel said the hospital has taken about 40 credit card donations from people all over the country who are hoping the burned kitten pulls through.

Adam was set on fire inside a cage on the banks of Paulin Creek in Santa Rosa's Apple Valley neighborhood on June 21. Eyewitness accounts of the incident have led to the arrest of two teenage girls that police believe committed the crime.
