On arrival, the crew set up a 9-metre ladder so they could bring the fluffy adventurer back down to earth.
In images taken at the scene, at just past 9am on Tuesday, September 17, the white moggy looks to be peering over the edge of the roof as a firefighter climbs up.
Another adorable shot shows the moment of rescue as a crew member climbs back down the steps holding the kitty close to her chest.
