Hoya retusa is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but related Hoya species — 'Wax Plant' (Hoya carnosa) and 'Sweetheart Hoya' (Hoya kerrii) — are ASPCA non-toxic to cats and dogs, and no Hoya is on the toxic list, so it is regarded as pet-safe. As it is not individually listed, confirm with your vet if concerned; the milky sap may cause mild, temporary stomach upset.
