FIREFIGHTERS were called to the rescue after a cat got itself in a sticky situation in a Herefordshire town.

A crew from Leominster Fire Station was called to a home in the Buckfield area of the town after a cat was reported to be stuck on a roof at 5.37pm.

A fire service spokesperson said the cat was safely returned to terra firma using ladders and working at height equipment.

A homeowner in the town had taken to Facebook group Leominster watch... eyes and ears to report that a cat was stuck on their roof yesterday (November 21).

Commenters suggested calling the fire brigade, while others said the cat would find its own way down.
