No Lilies for Kitties Educational Campaign
Why are Easter and Mother’s Day two of the most dangerous holidays for cats? The answer is simple—lily poisoning. Exposure to common lilies such as Easter lilies, tiger lilies and stargazer lilies sicken and kill thousands of cats annually. What’s even more dangerous is that fewer than 30% of cat owners realize these common and seemingly “benign” lilies are fatal to our feline friends. That’s about to change. We want to make you aware of our educational campaign—‘No Lilies for Kitties!’
Pet Poison Helpline®, in partnership with the Small Animal Welfare Committee of the MVMA, teamed up a number of years ago to increase awareness of lily poisoning to cat owners and remind veterinarians that we are heading into lily season. Please help us spread the word and learn why you need to “leave out the lilies.” As part of the campaign, downloadable graphics, PDFs and a video are available for printing and sharing at noliliesforkitties.com.
