We offer 100% food-safe, handmade cat drinking fountains that serve equally as well as indoor fountains for home decor. These are all one-of-a-kind. No two are alike. Please read the feedback. People and their cats love these fountains because they work well, are extremely beneficial and are pleasing to see and to hear. (Though if you wish silence, simply lower the flow rate.) And - they are really easy to clean. For most people it takes about 4 minutes once a week. To see a video of this, go here.

Here is a quote from a customer who left this in the public feedback section on May 13th: "I love these (and so do my cats!) - this is my third one. The first is over two years old, and still one of the cats' favorites."
The pump manufacturer gives us a one year warranty - we extend it to two. We warranty our fountain bowls for 20 years in materials and workmanship but they should last a lifetime. Our antimicrobial copper components have a lifetime warranty. No other fountain on the market comes with this degree of warranted protection for the buyer. Not one. And if the fountain you are considering buying from another source comes in one or two shapes, it is mass produced by mold, probably in China. Trust it at your risk.
Cats need to drink enough water and it is well known that cats much prefer moving water. Whether flowing up, down or sideways, these fountains encourage your cats to drink,contributing to their health, with none of the negative effects that come from China-made or plastic cat fountains or fountains with difficult to clean corners. As to food-safeness, a lack of lead in the glaze is not sufficient. Has the glaze been tested for leaching of colorants or other chemical components in the glaze? Ours have.
About our copper features: This is the same copper used in the plumbing of upscale homes. It is approved by all building codes and has been proven to be a natural anti-microbial, meaning that it actively inhibits the growth of bacteria and other unwanted elements in the water. See this link:

About our pumps: These are the highest quality, small (40 - 80 gallons per hour) aquarium pumps available. They have a polarized, two prong plug, as do most aquarium and indoor fountain pumps as well as most commercial pet fountains such as the Drinkwell and others. Unlike almost all commercial fountains, they make no noise whatsoever and are easily replaced should that ever become necessary. However virtually everyone who has thought their pump died found that it only needed cleaning inside the impeller well. Keep the instructions that come with the fountains. The pumps have a two year warranty (although the manufacturer gives us a one year) though they usually last much longer.
We do occasionally offer indoor/outdoor fountains and they have a grounded plug. The grounded plug cable is thick, inflexible and too unwieldy for a small indoor fountain and not necessary. A grounded plug is absolutely necessary for outdoor use.
If you come from using a plastic fountain, please note that these fountains, unlike what you are used to, are quiet, extremely easy to clean and because they are not made of plastic they don't harbor harmful bacteria and never cause chin acne.
Try placing your handmade ceramic cat fountain in your living or dining room, perhaps on a low table or stand. You can enjoy it for its visual appeal and your cats will appreciate finding their water there and will almost certainly drink more.
Each fountain adds a uniquely wonderful accent to your home as well as promoting feline and human health (moisture and ions in the air and such.)
