Who is her companion? Catulo's companion is a dwarf
snow leopard. The two grew up together (both are 3 years old) and even though in the wild there would be no chance of them becoming friends, when the two orphaned dwarfs were brought into the sanctuary for sick, injured or abandoned animals - including the abandoned cubs and foals. Though Catulo was caught and brought in due to the fact they believed with her dwarf syndrome that she would not survive, and being the only known dwarf they decided to keep her alive in the sanctuary. She and the leopard, Catulus [means 'cub' in Latin] have grown together and are now inseparable.
What is her job? Catulo and Catulus both do the same job. They visit sick children in hospitals to keep them company and even help them heal. It has been said that the two visiting the hospital have created a joy amongst the children and they have found the power to get better.
Personality:Caring - Catulo is incredibly caring, and has a soft spot for each child she visits.
Anxious - Though she is a very friendly girl, when she is completely surrounded by people and children she becomes anxious because most people and creatures are a lot larger than her and can crowd her.
Trusting - Catulo is very trusting of not only her caregivers and Catulus, but also the children she visits.
Unruly - Catulo is known for being somewhat disobedient at times, though she loves the children and being out in public, she can occasionally become a little bit of a spastic.
Loquatious - This dwarf may be the smallest of the species, but doesn't mean she isn't the loudest. She is a very talkative little equid!
Observant - Catulo watches the world around her very cautiously, but watches everyone's body language closely, which in a way is a good protective device.
