Is Abelia 'Rose Creek' toxic to cats?

Abelia x grandiflora 'Rose Creek'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists abelia 'rose creek' as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Abelia is not individually listed on the ASPCA's toxic or non-toxic plant database, so this cultivar's status for cats and dogs is unconfirmed; treat with caution, discourage chewing, and verify with a vet if ingestion occurs. Do not assume it is pet-safe.
