Who is #TeamFrida?

A sweet kitty named Frida, aka Frida Fries was a girl who loved watching Parks and Recreation. Leslie Knope was her spirit human. She made the best biscuits, and we are lucky to have known her.

Who am I? My name is Pamela May. I am just a girl with a hashtag trying to make a difference in the world of rescue.

But, to understand fully, let's go back to the beginning. 

Frida was a rescue cat who lived in a retirement center as a “friendly feral.” One day, she went missing. After ten days, she returned with the left side of her face swollen and infected, and she was walking in circles. 

She was taken to the vet, where it was determined that she had been hit by a car and needed surgery to remove crumbling teeth.  She caught my attention two weeks into her care through a social media post. When I saw her picture, I fell in love. I had to adopt her.

During the first week at her new home, Frida started experiencing breathing difficulties and developed an abscess. We took her to the veterinarian for treatment, but the prognosis was not good. 

Nonetheless, we brought her back home, and for the next five days, she fought on and ate while constantly purring.

After those five days, the abscess began to grow again, requiring another trip to the veterinarian. This time, I took her to my vet, who recommended an X-ray to determine what was going on with her overall health so they could plan her care and treatment. 

When I received the call from my vet, my world shattered. Frida had cancer. The cancer was locking her jaw and decimating the left side of her face. There was only one decision.

Frida was with us for only two weeks and one day and passed away on January 2, 2018. After that, #teamfrida was created and has since been shared worldwide, where numerous animals have been rescued in her name.

So that’s what a kitty, a dog, and a goat have in common.
