Lilium philadelphicum, also known as the wood lily, flame lily, Philadelphia lily, (wild) tiger lily, prairie lily, or western red lily, is a perennial species of lily native to North America.
Cats are extremely sensitive to lily toxicity and ingestion is often fatal. Households and gardens that are visited by cats are strongly advised against keeping this plant or placing dried flowers where a cat may brush against them and become dusted with pollen that they then consume while cleaning. Suspected cases require urgent veterinary attention. Rapid treatment with activated charcoal and/or induced vomiting can reduce the amount of toxin absorbed (this is time-sensitive so in some cases, vets may advise doing it at home), and large amounts of fluid by intravenous injection can reduce damage to kidneys to increase the chances of survival.
Also recorded as Flame Lily, Glade Lily, Huckleberry Lily, Orange-cup Lily, Prairie Lily and Red Lily.
