Cat Health Warning: 

Almost all members of the lily family contain toxins that can be deadly to cats. Just a curious nibble on a leaf, petal or root, a lick of pollen from the fur, or even a sip of water from a vase in which a lily has been kept can be enough to cause irreparable kidney damage, and even death. According to a press release from the ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center, signs of lily toxicity include vomiting, lethargy and appetite loss. Without prompt and proper treatment by a veterinarian, the cat will develop kidney failure in approximately 36-72 hours. Please don’t take chances—keep your beloved feline companions away from lilies!  This notice is posted in honor of our miraculous White Nose, who survived a lily encounter, and in memory of beautiful Bella, and countless other kitty angels who did not.
