District 1 RCMP say a trailer caught fire shortly after midnight at 11 Millie Lane in Pennfield.
The family said the cat alerted the household of the blaze.
The family of four say they were renting and most of their belongings were destroyed in the fire.
There's no word yet on how that fire got started.
The Red Cross is helping out the couple and their two school-aged children with emergency lodging, food and clothing.
