Is Yellow Trumpet Vine toxic to cats?

Anemopaegma chamberlaynii

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists yellow trumpet vine 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. Anemopaegma chamberlaynii is not individually listed by ASPCA. It belongs to the Bignoniaceae family, which is generally considered low in toxicity (ASPCA lists the related genus Jacaranda as non-toxic). No specific toxic compounds have been documented for this species, but as it is not formally assessed, treat with caution around pets and children.

What to do if your cat ate yellow trumpet vine

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move yellow trumpet vine out of reach.
  2. Note how much was eaten and when, and watch for drooling, vomiting, or lethargy.
  3. Do not induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist instructs you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
  5. Bring a leaf or photo of yellow trumpet vine to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.
