They were taken to a local vet and are now in the care of Cork Cat Action Trust...
In recent months RedFM News revealed how St Vincent de Paul found the carcass of a dead dog in one of their bins
The charity says it's costing them up to €2,000 a month to dispose of household waste from their bins as well as the the loss of contaminated donations.
