Cows, horses, sheep, hedgehogs, dogs have all got stuck in cattle grids.  Even a kangaroo in Australia.

13:01 and 13:06...Google tells me that,yes the fire brigade does rescue cats, amongst other animals. They do ask that the rspca is called first. And in 2017, London Fire Brigade had rescued 539 animals...that's 10 per week.

I remember when Reggie Bosanquet reported on the news that the fire brigade (might be been the army due to a strike) were called out to rescue a cat from a tree.  After a successful rescue, said fire engine ran over the cat.  Reginald smirked when he reported the story and hoards of complaint letters were received by ITV

What a cute animal. The Fire Service did a great job.

I recall that incident very well. It was operation Burberry when troops drove the Green Goddesses during the firemen's strike.The old lady who's cat had been rescued by the squaddies invited the crew in for tea and biscuits. They accidentally reversed over it on return to barracks.I'm afraid Reggie Bosanquet was not the only peson who found that amusing. There were howls of laughter from the troops at St John's Wood barracks when that news item was on the telly in the crew ready room.It was said that Mr Bosanquet often read the news when feeling a 'little unwell'.
