Nearly four years ago, Danielle Crull rescued a stray kitten from a forest in Pennsylvania. Now, that spunky kitty is changing hundreds of lives by helping children with eye problems feel more confident about wearing glasses and eye patches. Truffles, now famous for her glamorous glasses â which range from sparkling purple ones to her favorite green pair â works alongside her mom, an optician. Crull runs her own practice, A Childâs Eyes, in Mechanicsburg, where her primary focus is infants, toddlers and children in elementary school. When kids come in â many with severe eye problems that require multiple surgeries, medications and treatments â they are often terrified of anything coming near their eyes.

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.
