Is Campfire Crassula (Red Pagoda) toxic to cats?

Crassula capitella 'Campfire'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists campfire crassula (red pagoda) 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. Crassula capitella 'Campfire' is not listed individually in the ASPCA toxic and non-toxic plant database. However, the ASPCA does list the related jade plant (Crassula argentea / C. ovata) as toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, so this same-genus succulent should be treated as mildly toxic and kept out of reach. If a pet ingests it, contact your vet or the ASPCA Poison Control line.
