Is Hoya sigillatis toxic to cats?
Hoya sigillatis
No — hoya sigillatis 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 sigillatis is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the Hoya genus is clean: ASPCA individually lists Hoya kerrii (Sweetheart Hoya) and Hoya carnosa (Wax Plant) as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, with no Hoya listed as toxic. As with any plant, nibbling can cause mild stomach upset; verify with your vet if your pet has eaten a large amount.
