He was living on a balcony at the Ann Summers store across from Primark on Castle Street in the city centre and was being cared for by staff there.
A team member from Debbie Doolittle's Wild Life, a local animal rescue group, was on the way to rescue Smokey when the fire broke out.
"When I arrived to get him there was an obvious danger!," they wrote on Facebook.
"The things you have to do! Just glad he's safe... if a little smelly." The fire broke out on the top floor of the building at around 11am yesterday morning and spread quickly through the rest of the structure. The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) sent 14 appliances and 80 firefighters to tackle the blaze. The store had recently been refurbished.Primark Belfast is on fire!!! #primark #belfast pic.twitter.com/bhWXB6oSpd
