Hi – I’m Vanilla Bean. You can call me Vanilla, or Nillies. I’ll answer to pretty much anything if you talk to me. In fact, I love to talk, and to be pet and cuddled. I’ve had a lot of health issues over the years with things like pancreatitis. I’m also not a big fan of using the litter boxes. Now it looks like I might have cancer, or be headed in that direction. Meowmy has been giving me meds to try to slow it down and I’m feeling better and eating again. With my other health problems, I don’t have a lot of energy to fight but I’m going to do my best. I love living here with all my furriends. I came to Doodle's Ranch in January 2010 as a kitten (due to above mentioned aversion to litter boxes) and I really love it.
