And maybe a fan to circulate the air.
PRO FAN TIP: put a 2 litre water bottle filled with tap water in the freezer until it freezes solid. Remove frozen bottle from freezer and put in front of fan. Switch fan on. Rejoice as room receives a continuous stream of tiny ice-cold droplets into its air.

That is a mighty fine pro fan tip! My cats (and the dog) have taken to spreading themselves out on the clay tiled kitchen floor. Coolest place in the house. Might try it myself next time it goes above 30c. I did go and lie out on the lawn in a vest and shorts last night - not many evenings in the year when that doesn't sound totally crazy. My cats thought it was weird, obvs.
Getting a bit worried about the number of frogs they're bringing in from the pond a few doors along - always alive, usually at dusk or after rain. The neighbour's dog actually eats them :/
I don't mind picking up and releasing the slimy, leggy little bastards but as I'm going away soon, for a while, my poor frog-phobic mum will have to deal with them until they hibernate again in Oct/Nov. I dread returning home at Christmas to find an assortment of putrid and/or dried-up dead frogs, mice, slugs, and other once-living 'gifts' under my bed...or worse.
I suspect there will be a lot of shutting outside and mouth-checking going on. :/

Put her in a cool room - close the curtains and leave them closed - with a water bowl with ice in it. And maybe a fan to circulate the air.
Fridge plan won't work, as the door needs to be closed for the fridge to function effectively.
Alternately sneak cat in to air conditioned office
