Is Hoya curtisii toxic to cats?

Hoya curtisii

Non-toxic to cats

No — hoya curtisii is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats. It is a sensible choice for a home with a cat; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Hoya curtisii is not individually listed in the ASPCA database, but the genus is clean: ASPCA lists Hoya kerrii (Sweetheart Hoya) and Hoya carnosa (Wax Plant) as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses, with no Hoya species listed as toxic. As with any plant, ingestion may still cause mild stomach upset, so verify with your vet if a pet eats a large amount.
