Is Aeonium Haworthii toxic to cats?

Aeonium haworthii

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists aeonium haworthii 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. Aeonium is not individually listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so its status is not formally confirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet before assuming it is safe. The genus is widely regarded as low-risk, but ingestion of any succulent can cause mild gastrointestinal upset in cats and dogs.

What to do if your cat ate aeonium haworthii

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

General guidance, not veterinary advice. If you think your cat has eaten aeonium haworthii, contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 — do not wait for symptoms to worsen.
