Lily Toxicity in Cats



Unfortunately one of the most common reasons we see cats present in veterinary emergency centres is kidney failure secondary to lily poisoning. Lilies in the "true lily" and "day lily" varieties are highly toxic to cats. The entire plant is toxic when directly or indirectly ingested. Cats only need to groom a small amount of pollen off their coats to succumb to the toxic effects of lilies. To prevent poisoning it is best not to bring any lilies into a cat's home.
