Two tiny kittens were sealed in a bag filled with water and dumped in a bin outside a Ballybofey takeaway, it has emerged overnight.
In the shocking act of cruelty, the two kittens’ were found alive after their distressing cries were heard on Thursday night.
Before being brought to Animals In Need (AIN), their finders brought them home, dried them off and warmed them up.
And there was further light at the end of the tunnel for the two kittens as a female cat decided to take them under her wing as two of her own.
Harmony the cat shows unconditional love for the two kittens
A spokesperson for AIN said: “The two kittens were struggling to take to the bottle but this is where their luck changed as earlier in the week a cat called Harmony and her three little babies came to us.
Harmony is a gentle soul and we decided to see if she would look after our two bin babies and thankfully she has taken them on.”
Gardai are appealing for witnesses to this heinous act to contact them.
