Cat Mate 3-Level Pet Fountain - BPA and BHT Free with Filter

I have had several of these over the years; they didn't break, I wound up giving them away to people who thought a big dog bowl full of water that sat there for days was the way to go.

Cats, being desert in many species' origin, tend not to drink much water if they don't like the quality of it. This can lead to kidney and bladder issues down the road, and lower quality of life for your cat(S) even when well. You will likely be amazed how much more water you cat will drink when the water is constantly being aerated like running stream water is. I use purified water ($1.09/gal) so the chlorine in our tap water is not even present, and my four cats haven't needed to go to the vet in many years. You can invest in their health or invest in getting them well again later at the vet.

This fountain is the best thing you can do TODAY to enhance your cat's long-term health, while measurably increasing their satisfaction with their water intake. You will be sold on it if you give it a try!

My cat had kidney disease, and it was a struggle getting her to drink enough clean water. I tried a few different bowls/fountains, but this is the only one she enjoyed. The moving water excited her enough to drink (and sometimes splash around, hence the plastic bin).
As her illness progressed, I appreciated the fountain even more, as it allowed her to drink from any position that was comfortable to her (standing, sitting, or loafing).
Dora enjoyed her fountain until the end, and the last video I have of her is Dora splashing water around her water park.

I have had this fountain for several years and my cat loves it--sits & meows while cleaning it till it's again filled and he can drink from it. The only problem I have is the little white brush that came with it to clean the small round holes in the pump has lost all its bristles & I'd like to know where I can obtain a new one.

I have had four to five household cats for years and have been using fountains for a long time, so I have a good idea what features are useful and what can be a hassle to deal with. This very compact multi-level fountain comes in right at the top of my list of favorites.
It is small, considerably smaller than ones I've used before. The others held a good bit more water, but I've found that having to add water every two days or so helps to keep the water from remaining in the tank too long. Even with a good filter, eventually food and hair build up in the big ones, clouding the water. This size is just right for a fairly large brood of cats to maintain plenty of hydration with relatively little addition of water.

Mine took all of about 12 hours to get acquainted with it and start to use it enthusiastically. They drink from different heights, for some reason, but they all seem to love it.

This is a breeze to clean, too, compared to some with labyrinthine twists and turns in the underside or bowl. The plastic material seems to clean up easily in our water, and the pump is the standard one you see in many fountains. It is quiet and dependable, when cleaned at regular intervals.

All in all, this fountain is a great find, and a real value if your goal is to get your cats to drink more water. I highly recommend it, and would buy one just like it should this one ever need to be replaced. I see why it has hundreds of five-star reviews to its credit.

I bought this fountain a year ago September and it was working great until a week ago when it just stopped. Thought it was my electric outlet but it wasn’t. The motor just stopped working. I keep it very clean, and only use filtered water. Now I have to buy another one. Maybe they’re only made to last a year?
