Is Adromischus Hemisphaericus toxic to cats?

Adromischus hemisphaericus

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists adromischus hemisphaericus 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. Adromischus is not individually listed on the ASPCA's toxic or non-toxic plant database, so its toxicity is unconfirmed. Treat with caution, keep out of reach of pets, and consult a vet if any is ingested. Do not assume it is pet-safe without veterinary confirmation.

What to do if your cat ate adromischus hemisphaericus

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move adromischus hemisphaericus out of reach.
  2. Note how much was eaten and when, and watch for drooling, vomiting, or lethargy.
  3. Do not induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist instructs you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
  5. Bring a leaf or photo of adromischus hemisphaericus to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.
