Why TICA Endorses ThirstyCat Fountains
TICA awards this specific endorsement to products that meet strict standards for feline health, safety, and well-being. ThirstyCat Fountains earned the honor due to several key features: [1]
- 100% Food-Safe Materials: Every fountain is handmade using non-toxic ceramic and lead-free glazes mixed from scratch.
- Prevents Bacteria & Cat Acne: Unlike plastic fountains that scratch easily and trap harmful bacteria, these smooth ceramic surfaces do not scratch, keeping cats safe from feline chin acne.
- Easy Maintenance: The design allows pet parents to fully clean the fountain in about four minutes, once a week.
- Handmade Craftsmanship: Each piece is an individual work of art made on a pottery wheel in Cambridge, Upstate New York. [1, 2, 3]
About the Makers
The fountains are designed to encourage cats to drink more water by mimicking natural, moving water sources like bubbling streams and faucets. This helps prevent common feline urinary tract and kidney issues. Because of this design, the brand is also frequently recommended by veterinarians. [1, 2, 3]
