Is Anadendrum Latifolium toxic to cats?

Anadendrum latifolium

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists anadendrum latifolium 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. Anadendrum is an aroid (Araceae) not individually listed by the ASPCA; treat with caution and verify with a vet. Aroids generally hold insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that cause oral irritation, drooling, and stomach upset, so assume potential toxicity and keep this plant away from pets and children.

What to do if your cat ate anadendrum latifolium

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move anadendrum latifolium out of reach.

  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
