Our pumps are the best on the market with permanent filtration built in (the screen) and our additional food safe foam filtration system was designed by us and is made for us by specialists to be better than any other filtration system available and we provide it at no extra cost. Combined with the built-in pump filter, this is the best you can get. There is no higher quality cat fountain in the world and it is our customers who say this. Please read the reviews.

Concerning copper: We use the highest grade, 99.9% pure copper tubing to protect your cat. Not only is it not harmful, it is actually beneficial for your cats. The copper we use is the same used in the plumbing of upscale homes. It’s non-toxic, non-leaching and antimicrobial, helping to protect your feline companions throughout their lives and is approved by all building codes for use with drinking water. All of our fountains run perfectly without the copper but we provide it as an extra benefit and recommend it.

Concerning foam pre-filters. These are made specifically for us of 100% food safe material. Our customers have been using them for over 3 years and they are all still going strong. With proper cleaning these filters will remain fresh and serviceable for many, many years. These are only available for our fountains.

Concerning Carbon Filters which we offer but don't automatically include as not everyone needs them: Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal is a natural purifier. It is often found in emergency rooms and veterinarian's offices as when ingested it will remove toxins without causing any unpleasant or harmful effects. In water it absorbs impurities which can cause unpleasant tastes and odors.

About our glazes: We make all our own glazes from tested, approved minerals following guidelines established as the safest for producing 100% food safe glazes. This means not only do we not use hazardous colorants or other materials, we are careful to not use too much of any given colorant. If a potter doesn't make his or her own glazes he has no way of knowing if they are food safe, in spite of what they may say. The formula is never given on the container.

Thirstycat Fountains is comprised of a team of artists and artisans constantly striving to create, not just perfectly functioning pet fountains, but the most beautiful pet fountains in the world.

We warrant our fountain against any defects in workmanship and materials. With reasonable care they should last a lifetime, There is a 1 year warranty on the pump, though with regular care they normally last many years. When they do go, they are easily replaced.

If you are concerned about the cost, think a moment how much a healthfully hydrated cat will save you in vet bills. These fountains pay for themselves many times over.

How Handmade Ceramic Cat Fountains Came to Be

Shop members

  • Bijou

    Inspiration Director

    Bijou gave me the idea for cat fountains. I found him drinking from fountains we'd placed around the house and realized I rarely saw him use his water bowl. A google search showed the existence of cat fountains and the need for quality cat fountains.

  • Jacqueline McKannay

    Owner, Maker, Designer

    Jackie is the business manager, oversees shipping, and handles most of the customer service. She also ornaments the fountains and pump-hides, creates new designs, and works with glazing.

  • Keith Davitt

    Owner, Designer, Potter

    Keith started the business and is the overall shop manager who keeps everything happening, with the invaluable help of the others.
