Your cat is probably dehydrated — and hiding it
Cats evolved from desert animals, so they have a naturally low thirst drive and often stay mildly dehydrated without any obvious sign. That's why vets so often point to water intake when it comes to urinary and kidney health. The fix works with instinct: cats are drawn to moving water, so PurrFount's gently circulating faucet flow gets them drinking more, more often — no coaxing needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my cat actually use it?
Most cats take to it within a few days — many the moment they hear it running. Set it where the old bowl was and leave the bowl out at first so your cat can choose. Curiosity does the rest.
How hard is it to clean?
Easier than a bowl. Stainless steel resists the slime that builds up in plastic, so it's a quick rinse each week and a full clean every couple of weeks. Parts come apart in seconds and are dishwasher-safe.
Is it noisy?
No. The pump runs below 30dB — quieter than a soft conversation — so it's fine to leave on in a bedroom overnight. The automatic shut-off also protects the pump if the water runs low.
How often do I replace the filters?
Every 2 to 4 weeks for the freshest water. Replacements are inexpensive and swap in seconds — the bundle options above let you stock up and save.
