Can someone tell me ASAP if Kimberly ferns are poisonous to my cat? Just found my cat chewing on one in the living room.

I just walked into the living room and found my cat munching on one of the Kimberly ferns that we have. I'm really concerned because I know some plants can be toxic to cats. Should I be taking her to the vet immediately or is there something I should be watching for at home?
