Frisco, a dark gray tabby, arrived at the car barn a few months before Katy vanished. The two cats took to each other before museum volunteers even noticed he was around, and he was soon part of the trolley “family.” He was the first male cat at the museum.
It’s easy to see that Frisco was named after Frisco Freight Systems, whose memorable motto was “Ship it on the Frisco!” The company’s namesake, however, does limited travelling and even less toting. Frisco spent most of his time hanging out in the office with Casey but would make appearances for visitors at the museum, especially children. Unfortunately Frisco unexpectedly passed away in September, 2011. He is still missed to this day by everyone.
