Danielle Crull first spotted a spunky and playful tiny tuxedo kitten wandering behind some buildings at a church camp. Nestled deep in a forest, the camp had numerous stray cats, including many pregnant ones. This little kitty was a stray offspring. 

Crull, ABOM, is a master optician and owner of A Child’s Eyes in Mechanicsburg, Pa. When Truffles was about 6 months old, Crull tried putting her in glasses—not that she needed them. She says she had the crazy idea that maybe Truffles would be her assistant to help children feel more comfortable wearing glasses, eye patches, and other corrective eyewear.
