Truffles is a feisty black-and-white kitty who serves as an ambassador for Vision. She was born in July 2017 and was once a stray before finding her "fur-ever" home as an office cat in an optical shop. The Crull family adopted Truffles in October 2017, and by the time she was four months old, she had already proven herself to be a very special kitty. She learned to sit and give high-fives. When she was six months old, her owner wondered if Truffles could wear glasses as a trick, and she did!
Danielle, Truffles' "purrson," got her a pair of tiny pink preemie glasses so they would fit Truffles comfortably, and she started teaching her to wear them. Truffles has a little brother and assistant named Gumdrop who joins her in her efforts.
Truffles is a charming character who helps young patients at "A Child's Eyes" Optical Shop in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, by wearing glasses herself. She assists children during their eye exams and fittings. She helps alleviate fears by showing kids that if she can happily sport her glasses, so can they. Even donning an eyepatch on her glasses to show pediatric patients what it feels like to wear one.
In addition to her in-person support, Truffles has created a series of videos that teach children about the exam process, how fittings work, and how to properly care for their glasses when they aren't wearing them. On Truffles' Facebook page, children can find printable coloring pages and activities featuring Truffles.
Children can easily relate to Truffles, and many are excited to learn from her. She is particularly comforting to those who feel uneasy about getting glasses. There are even times when Truffles falls asleep wearing one of her 16 pairs of glasses!
In 2020, Truffles made a playful run for president. As a social media influencer, she helps kids feel more confident in wearing glasses and raises awareness about various eye conditions. Truffles also stands out for her unique fashion sense when it comes to accessorizing her glasses.
