Cats are beautiful, and probably no one could argue that they’re not. However, it’s somewhat harder to see how glasses are beautiful. But there’s a cat out there whose sole mission is to prove otherwise… by wearing them herself. And by doing so, she helps children to acquire purrfect vision.
The cat’s name is Truffles, and she was rescued by master optician Danielle Crull and her family in 2016. After getting adopted, Truffles quickly proved that she’s not only a sweetheart, but also has a sharp mind, as she learned to sit and high five with the help of treats. As Crull is a master optician that owns a glasses dispensary for children, she thought she could use Truffles’ smarts for a good cause, and taught the black-and-white cat to wear glasses. And thus, a new hero came into focus.
