Second Fountain, Fourteen Years Later
Last week a freak accident with a cup broke the rim of our Thirsty Cat fountain that was 14 years old. It probably was due to me asking “who would have guessed this bowl and pump would last this long?” as I was cleaning it a few days before.
We loved the fountain for its easy of cleaning and sturdy build. Our two cats and dog all drink from it, the cats love the running water and the dog doesn’t care but happily drinks from it.
Both fountains, old and new are very quiet at lower pump speeds. Our new refrigerator compressor is louder than the new fountain pump.
I’m so happy that Thirsty Cats is still making high quality, beautifully glazed ceramic fountains. The new fountain is as wonderful as the older one and I didn’t hesitate about getting another one to replace it.
Beautiful Fountains – Exactly as Pictured
We have the benefit of living a half hour away from the studio where these fountains are made, so we went to see them in person before making the investment. The owner took us around the studio and explained the process of creating these fountains and shared his story of how it all began. It was a difficult decision to choose just one, they are all so absolutely beautiful! Aside from the beauty, it is so much easier to clean than the cheap, square base, plastic fountain that we had prior to this and our cat loves it! After seeing these in person I can attest that they look exactly as pictured online. Truly the highest quality of cat fountains on the market and made in the USA. We highly recommend!
Beautiful, easy to clean, kitty loves it!
This fountain is beautifully made, with great attention to detail and function. The makers have provided exhaustive explanations of what kind of fountain works best for your type of kitty. The fountains are little works of art, and my cat drinks from it happily – completely ignores her old water dish now. Chronic low grade dehydration is the cause of many feline ailments, and cats are naturally drawn to running water. I am delighted with my purchase!
BEST CAT FOUNTAIN EVER!!!
My cat DJ absolutely LOVES his Fountain! I purchased it over a year ago and it’s still just as BEAUTIFUL as it was the day I bought it. The Handcrafted work that this couple makes is beyond Incredible. I recently purchased a new cord (due to my own lack of proper use) and they gave me paper and video with very easy instruction on how to replace it! I just can’t say enough about ThirstyCatFountains.com. If you want your cat/cats to drink more water, to be healthier and to have a Lifelong Fountain that will last, this is the Company to purchase from. You won’t be disappointed. 😉
10 Years and still flowing strong!
i bought this fountain when i had two cats in TX. life changed, and my new life chapter started without cats. that changed when a big orange boy decided our garage was a great place to hang out. he was obviously used to someone turning on the bathroom faucet for him, as that’s where i’d find him whenever he wanted a drink. minor problem, i’d get busy with other things while he was drinking and forget to turn the water off. i remembered having this fountain packed away in storage. got it out. it took a few weeks, but we now have another happy cat and happy cat mom! i’m glad i splurged and bought this fountain when i did. it is timelessly beautiful and functional.
Buy It For Life!
8 years ago, I purchased a bubble up fountain with the optional serenity flow accessory. At the time I thought it was a huge splurge, but looking back, I am confident it was well worth every penny.
First of all, it is beautiful. I have other cat conveniences, like an automated feeder and litter box, and while serviceable, in the end they are hunks of ugly plastic. My Thirsty Cat fountain is not only a water bowl, but is a decorative item that is a joy to look at every day.
Secondly, it is built to last. It is a simple design which is easy to repair, not a hunk of plastic which will end up in a landfill in a couple of years. The pump in mine finally quit working after 8 years. I ordered a replacement pump, which was sent quickly along with e-mailed and printed instructions to install it. When I had an issue with the first pump I was sent, I reached out to the company and Keith immediately helped me fix the issue. He also helped me with other follow-up questions that I had. With the general decline in customer service in recent years, it was so nice to deal with a company who steps up and supports their products.
Lastly, my cats really enjoy using it. In the few days while I was waiting for the replacement pump and I was giving them still water from a bowl, they made noticeably fewer trips to the litter box. To me, this means they consume a lot more water when drinking out of their fountain. With all the health concerns involved with cats not drinking enough (like urinary crystals), I feel happy that the fountain encourages them to keep their water intake levels high. It is also easy to clean, so I know they are drinking fresh and clear water.
I highly recommend Thirsty Cat fountains to any other cat owners!
Absolutely Love
I wanted to let you know that we absolutely love the sunflower fountain we purchased recently!
Senior Cat Loves It
My senior cat loves it! We are always trying to get him to drink more and haven’t had much luck with other fountains, but he immediately went to this one and drank.
I also appreciate that this fountain is a functional work of art.
It’s a game changer on how much water they drink
I want to start by saying my cats have loved this fountain. It’s a game changer on how much water they drink and I’ve been generally very happy with the purchase. I plan on buying a second one once I move into my new home.
6 months and everything is working great
I bought a water fountain earlier this year (order #1152207) and my kitties have absolutely loved it! It’s been six months and everything is working great.
