My cat smelled paint fumes. What are the long-term effects of VOCs?

Question

What long-term effects can come from a cat being able to smell a Moderate VOC level paint (50g - 0.42lb) I didn't know cousin painted upstairs, until i found the can of paint. She's acting fine now as far as I can tell, but I was reading that Low-to-Moderate levels of VOCs are harmful, how badly would it affect her if she's downstairs with me, and away from the actual paint, but the hallway next to my door got painted? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 lbs

If Miracle is away from the area that was painted and being kept in a well-ventilated area, I wouldn't be too concerned. Once the painted rooms have aired out some, she should be OK to go back in there. If you notice any issues such as respiratory distress, coughing, sneezing, etc, then moving her back to ventilation is best.
