Is Hoya fungii toxic to cats?

Hoya fungii

Non-toxic to cats

No — hoya fungii 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 fungii is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the ASPCA lists Hoya genus members such as Hoya kerrii (Sweetheart Hoya) as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses, with no Hoya species flagged as toxic. It is considered pet-safe, though eating any plant can cause mild stomach upset, so verify with your vet if your pet is sensitive.
