Toxic Plants in Your Home

Having plants in our homes is a great way to add a sense of peace to our environment. But many houseplants are toxic to cats—and let’s face it, sometimes our cat doesn’t know what’s good for her or him. That’s why it’s important to be aware of what may be toxic to your precious furbaby as they can cause symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal issues to respiratory failure to death, so please keep your kitties away from them.

This is not a complete list. To lookup any plant for its toxicity, please go to the ASPCA website HERE to use their free look-up tool.
