fetch it from the repository - easy as that

$arguments = $this->request->getArguments();
if (isset($arguments['category']) {
	$categoryId = intval($arguments['category']);
	// assuming you created your repository already in the initializeAction 
method
	$category = $this->categoryRepository->findByUid($categoryId);
	// do whatever you want with your category
}
