Is Pink Fawn Lily toxic to cats?

Erythronium revolutum

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists pink fawn lily as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The ASPCA does not individually list Erythronium revolutum. As a member of the Liliaceae family, ingestion of corms or foliage may cause gastrointestinal upset in pets and humans. It is not a true lily (Lilium) and does not carry the specific nephrotoxic risk to cats associated with that genus, but caution is warranted. Keep away from pets and children as a precaution.
