Is Adromischus Maculatus toxic to cats?

Adromischus maculatus

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists adromischus maculatus 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 maculatus is not individually listed by the ASPCA, and the Crassulaceae family it belongs to contains both toxic (Kalanchoe, Crassula) and harmless members, so it cannot be confirmed pet-safe. Treat with caution, keep out of pets' reach, and consult a vet if a pet ingests it; monitor for drooling or stomach upset.

What to do if your cat ate adromischus maculatus

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move adromischus maculatus 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 maculatus to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.
