I found this video footage that was submitted to a news agency back east, so there is no story that goes along with it. Maybe a little research we could find more about what the outcome was.

A cat in Massachusetts owes one of its nine lives to a firefighter who revived it with 'mouth-to-meow-th' more...resuscitation after saving it from a burning building. Asked what it tasted like to revive the cat, the firefighter said: 'Like fur.'

NEW BEDFORD, Massachusetts (AP) - A lucky cat owes one of
its nine lives to a firefighter who revived it with
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Al Machado rescued the cat from a burning apartment
Tuesday. The Standard Times of New Bedford, Massachusetts
quotes him as saying that he saw immediately that it needed
air. Machado began performing mouth to mouth on the animal
as he carried it outside.
Video shot at the scene shows Machado bent over, breathing
into the cat's mouth several times. The cat, a tiger
angora, was revived and resting comfortably soon after.
No humans were injured in the fire. Authorities said a man
and woman whose last known address was the building that
burned were arrested and charged with arson.
