So I spoke with the vet again. She said that the prognosis is still guarded, so we don't really know what's going to happen long term. They are treating her as aggressively as they can, and she is responding to treatment, so that's all good.
I also spoke with the ASPCA hotline again and they said that because Cassie is young and otherwise healthy, and because she's receiving treatment, they're pretty confident that she'll pull through. There's still a chance she might not make it, but they think she may very well make a full recovery. Even if she doesn't, they think it will be manageable and she can live a long and happy life regardless. I've also added my other cat to the case just to be on the safe side.
I'll try to bring Anuket in to my regular vet tomorrow for bloodwork to check her kidney values just so we can make sure she wasn't also poisoned. She's completely asymptomatic right now, so I think she's ok, but I don't ever want to go through this with another cat, especially not while I'm already dealing with it.
Lilies are henceforth banned from the house and any bouquet containing them will be promptly binned upon arrival. We're also considering tossing the table cloth the bouquet was on. I'm honestly surprised by how little it takes to give a cat lily toxicity and really thought that keeping the bouquet separate would be enough to keep them safe. That's a risk I will never be taking again.
I'll also be visiting Cassie tomorrow. They tell me that she's both beautiful and sweet, and that she's been friendly and purring despite her situation. I'm really looking forward to seeing her.
