Is Hoya heuschkeliana toxic to cats?

Hoya heuschkeliana

Non-toxic to cats

No — hoya heuschkeliana 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 heuschkeliana is not individually listed in the ASPCA toxic/non-toxic plant database, but the Hoya genus is clean: ASPCA lists Hoya kerrii (Sweetheart Hoya) and Hoya carnosa (Wax Plant) as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, with no toxic Hoya members. It is therefore considered pet-safe; as always, verify with your vet, since any plant material can cause mild stomach upset if eaten in quantity.
