Meet Dallas! 🐱💙

This curious little kitten got into some trouble after being exposed to lilies, resulting in several days of hospitalization at Cladda!

While lilies may be beautiful, they can be extremely toxic to cats, with even small exposures potentially causing serious kidney damage.

Dallas’s case serves as an important reminder to keep lilies out of homes with cats and seek immediate veterinary care if exposure occurs.
