Crassula socialis

Toxic to cats

Yes — crassula socialis is toxic to cats according to the ASPCA. Keep it well away from any cat that chews plants; reactions can be significant. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The ASPCA lists Crassula (jade plant, Crassula species) as toxic to cats and dogs, causing vomiting, depression and incoordination; the silver jade is listed for nausea and retching. Although Crassula socialis is not named individually, the genus is treated as toxic, so we class it the same. Keep it out of reach of pets and contact a vet or the ASPCA Poison Control line if ingestion is suspected.
