First and foremost, thank you to our career and volunteer firefighters for your courage, sacrifice and hard work to protect this community and beyond. You are greatly appreciated. Thank you also for rescuing our four legged friends as they are also our family. We know you all do your best, and for that, we thank you. To show support to firefighters the public can drop a note of thanks to the station, support foundations that assist firefighter families in need and most importantly, always practice good fire safety habits at home to reduce the risk of fire. 

One great fire safety trick is to reduce clutter around the home and office. Deja Vu will be doing this throughout this fall season and invite you to attend an open house and store/office wide sale every Saturday from 12-6 from now through the end of October. They offer a wide range of stones, crystals, fossils, minerals, vintage/thrift jewelry/clothing, furniture and antiques. They encourage you to let go of your own clutter and replace it with delightful items that bring joy. 

Speaking of lost joy, recently it has been reported that at least eight neighborhood kitties have come up missing, over the course of two weeks, from the Groton Ave side of Hamlin St., here in the city of Cortland. All were beloved neighborhood cats cared for by a network of neighbors. One all black cat, Arthur, had recently been extensively vetted and ready for a forever home. More details can be seen on the Facebook group “Lost/Found Pets of Cortland County NY.” Shout out to the administrator of this page for doing such a great job helping people reunite with their pets as well as helping unhoused pets get rescued. 

This community needs everyone to participate if we are to keep animals safe and housed. CNY SNAP (Central New York Spay Neuter Assistance Program) who does a tremendous job in assisting the community with low-cost spaying and neutering of both dogs and cats, provides safe shelter and medical attention and a chance at adoption, needs our help, now. Currently the shelter needs to raise $400,000 to renovate the facility to bring it into compliance with NY state’s Companion Animal Care Standards Act lest they be shut down. Please share their Facebook post to raise awareness. To donate, bring them your cans and bottles, scan the QR code in the Deja Vu ad on the front of this paper or mail a check to: CNY SNAP, 17 Salisbury St., Cortland, NY 13045.

Deja Vu (located at 143 Main St, Cortland, in the front of The Global Heart Healing Center) will also be donating 10% of each Caturday’s earnings from now through October and donating it directly to CNY SNAP. Additionally, “Have You Seen Arthur?” shirts will be available for purchase to raise awareness of Arthur’s disappearance, the mistreatment of cats (and dogs and animals, in general) and specifically, black cats. All proceeds will be donated directly to CNY SNAP to help them reach their goal for the required renovations.

Deja Vu would also like to announce an exciting new club that they have long considered but meow deem necessary. Introducing Cat Club- Cats and Crystals, from now forward, every Saturday from 6-7 at The Global Heart Healing Center (venue may change as attendance increases). Please take note, September is “Happy Cat Month,” October is “Black Cat Awareness Month,” and December is “National Cat Lovers’ Month. Mark your calendars, more to come.

Lastly, Global Heart Healing and Massage seeks more NY state licensed massage therapists so their sole therapist can work more in the community, 607 727 8100, thank you.
