Is White Anacampseros toxic to cats?

Anacampseros albissima

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists white anacampseros 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. Anacampseros albissima is not individually listed by the ASPCA. The genus belongs to Portulacaceae; no confirmed toxic compounds are documented, but in the absence of a clear non-toxic listing the conservative rating of mildly toxic is applied. Keep away from pets and children as a precaution.

What to do if your cat ate white anacampseros

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