Is Anadendrum Montanum toxic to cats?

Anadendrum montanum

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists anadendrum montanum 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. Most aroids contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals causing oral irritation, drooling, and digestive upset, so assume potential toxicity and keep away from pets and children.

What to do if your cat ate anadendrum montanum

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