Easy method is to rent a carpet cleaner from the store, or borrow a carpet shampooer from a friend who may own one, and use clear water to wash the area where the soap has spilled. You could also just put water on the floor and vacuum it up with a wet/dry vac if you happen to have one or if you can borrow one. You can trade with a neighbor or coworker, loan them something they can use, or maybe arrange to scrub their bathroom or babysit their kids.
Hard method is to get down on the floor with pretty much every towel you own. First use paper towels and try to soak up as much of the soap as you can. Then start wetting it down with a sponge and clear water, and soak up the soapy water with your towels.
If you really can't do either, or if washing the carpet takes more time and work than you can do at once, at least park a piece of furniture over the spot, so the cat won't get into it. That'll buy you a little time to work on it.

Rugs and carpets with natural fibers and/or certain dyes may require special treatment. If in doubt contact a cleaning professional for advice/service.
Acid toilet bowl cleaners, acne medication, alkaline drain cleaners, chlorinated bleach, hair dyes, iodine, insecticides, mustard with turmeric, plant fertilizers and stains of this nature cannot be removed as they have permanently altered the carpet's color. Call a professional for advise. Most likely they will be able to assist by cleaning the affected area or they may have to replace the carpet in the room where the spill occurred.

Rent a carpet cleaner from your local supermarket.
Rinse with plain water, suck it up. Repeat until the soap is gone.
Or cover up the spot so the cat can't get to it. Tape some aluminum foil over it.

Keep the cat away from it until you go to the grocery store and rent a carpet shampooer.

Use white vinegar on it and then lots of water to rinse it, cover the damp area with a thick white towel and iron it on a dry heat setting, continue to repeat the process until it no longer suds when you add water.
