Is Sander's Vanda toxic to cats?

No — sander's vanda 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. The ASPCA lists orchids as non-toxic to cats and dogs (Phalaenopsis orchid is its named non-toxic entry, and no orchid sits on the toxic list). Vanda sanderiana (Euanthe sanderiana) is not individually listed, but as a true orchid it has no calcium oxalates or recognised toxic principle. Ingestion may still cause minor digestive upset, as non-toxic does not mean edible.

Yes — the ASPCA lists sander's vanda as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A cat that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Sander's Vanda is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full sander's vanda pet-safety guide for both species.
