About Us
Welcome to istoxictocats.com.
This website was born out of a simple, yet terrifying moment. One evening, my curious cat nibbled on a leaf from a new houseplant I had just bought. I panicked. I spent the next 20 minutes frantically searching online, scrolling through forums, ad-filled blogs, and confusing veterinary journals, just to find a simple answer: "Is this safe?"
That 20 minutes felt like a lifetime. Thankfully, the plant was non-toxic, but I realized that in an emergency, pet owners don't have time to wade through fluff and pop-ups. They need answers, and they need them fast.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: To reduce preventable feline emergencies through AI and vet-verified data.
We believe that safety information should be free, accessible efficiently, and easy to understand. We have built this database referencing trusted sources like the ASPCA to ensure you have reliable information right at your fingertips.
Whether you are at the nursery buying new plants or at home double-checking a bouquet of flowers, we are here to give you peace of mind.
Editorial Policy
We take accuracy seriously. Our database is primary-sourced from trusted veterinary organizations including the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center and the Pet Poison Helpline.
Every entry is cross-referenced to ensure reliable, up-to-date information. However, scientific understanding can evolve, and individual sensitivity varies. We always recommend consulting a professional veterinarian for any health concerns.
A Note on Safety
While we strive for accuracy, we are a database, not a doctor. If you suspect your cat has ingested something toxic, please contact your veterinarian or a pet poison control center immediately.
Thank you for trusting us to help keep your feline friends safe.
