Images of Flowers and Plants that Are Toxic for Cats
Brought to you by: Heather Floral Co. In NYC
 The purpose of this page is to help you, the cat owners, know and be aware of plants and flowers that are toxic for your cat.
While some flowers and plants will not harm your cat, there are many out there that can be very toxic if ingested.
Cats, and especially kittens, tend to sniff and chew on anything within reach. While a grown up cat may have a bit more tolerance to some of the toxic plants and flowers, your kitten - whose immune system is not yet fully developed - is more likely to have a more severe, often violent, reaction.
Cat owners should be aware of the type of plants and/or flowers that fall under the category of "Toxic" and make sure to either place them in a place where their cat cannot reach or… do without them altogether.
Below you will find a list of some of the most popular house and garden plants and flowers that are toxic to your cat. By CLICKING on the name of the particular plant or flower, a new window will open which will display an actual image of that particular plant or flower, as well as the part of the plant or flower that is toxic and the symptoms that these plants or flowers can produce when your cat comes in contact with or ingests that particular part.
Pease note: We bring this page as a courtesy service to our clients as well as the public in general. We have done the best we could to be as accurate as possible, yet we still recommend you double check its accuracy in places like www.wikipedia.org or the American Association of Poison Control Centers.
The list below is by no means represents the complete list of all the toxic flowers and plants out there that can be toxic for your cat and the symptoms described may not be complete.
If your cat happens to ingest any part of a plant or flower, EVEN IF that plant or flower does not appear on our list, contact immediately his veterinarian.
Whenever in doubt, or in case of an emergency please get in touch immediately with the American Association of Poison Control Centers at 1-800-222-1222 . Be ready to let them know the name of the plant or flower ingested as well as the quantity, if known.
