Is Hoya pubicalyx toxic to cats?

The ASPCA lists wax plants in the genus Hoya as non-toxic to cats and dogs, including Hoya carnosa 'krinkle kurl' (Wax Plant) and Hoya kerrii (Sweetheart Hoya); NC State Extension specifically lists Hoya pubicalyx as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses. As with any plant, a pet eating a large amount may get mild, temporary stomach upset, but it contains no known dangerous toxins.
