9 Best water fountains for cats, newspapers and magazines (2025)

Others that we have tested

Petkit eversseet max for $ 80: This automatic technological fountain can be battery -powered or battery -powered (which lasts up to 83 days) and the drinking bowl is made of stainless steel, but the tank is in plastic. Due to the shape of the pelvis with the large battery and the bowl of the tank, it is a little embarrassing to clean. The registers of the apps every time a pet drinks and compares it over time to determine if your cat’s habits have changed. The app also keeps track of when the filter must be replaced and when the water is added. However, it does not monitor or show you how much water remains in the pelvis; You have to control manually. The design also made a little difficult to clean and recharge easily.

Found Pet Smart Rola water for $ 40: This automatic fountain is cordless and works on a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 60 days (although it can also remain connected). It has a wireless pump that uses magnetic induction: this pump has been one of the simplest and without problems to clean everything I have tested. The fountain has a stainless steel top that contains a fair amount of water even when it doesn’t work. Although the tank is in plastic and now wary of plastic due to its propensity to host bacteria (plus it does not keep water as cold). The app provides reminder of when the bass of the water, the fountain needs cleaning or the filter must be replaced, also automatically interrupts the supply of water and sends you a reminder to fill through the app. It also records the number of times your pet has drank and for how long, monitoring the hydration models over time and comparing statistics to the medium time used. An complaint that I had is that this fountain would not have remained in continuous flow mode, even if connected, instead automatically passing to the detection flow.

Funeral for Wireless Homerunpet For $ 60: This cordless fountain can be used as a traditional fountain connected to its base or can be detached and moved to the house with 30 days of battery life. I don’t like this fountain to be all plastic, but it is easy to see water levels from the outside, from the top and filter The layers are super easy to remove, clean and replace and the wireless pump (substantially silent) makes it much easier to clean. Plastic does not maintain cold or clean water like stainless steel, so you will have to clean it much more often. The fountain begins to gurgling only when a (or human) cat approaches to save the battery power and there is no option to control the flow (and no connected app). I like the wireless pump, but at this point they are really too plastic.

Wonder Creature Cat Fountain for $ 21: My two cats have pedaled through different water fountains in recent years, but this version without frills has been a stalwart. The interior is illuminated by a blue LED (bright enough to shine in the dark) and a window display on the side makes it easy to monitor the level of water from afar. I also like the metal bowl with the safety of the dishwasher and the fact that you can remove parts of the yellow and white “flower” to create a fountain configuration like your cat (waterfall, low bubbles, abundant high). The only main disadvantages are the fact that it requires very frequent cleaning e Filter changes Due to the plastic body and that there is no tank to keep the water in the event of a power interruption or malfunction of the pump. When I go on vacation I have to exchange it with a Gravity distributor of the old school. —Kat Merck

Happy Gothic cat and Polly drinks fountain for $ 55: If you prefer the Gothic furniture to neutral blanus, this Happy & Polly spectral ceramic cats could try to bite you. The water boils out of the top of the ghost and swimming pools on the top ceramic. It is quite quiet to about 35 decibels, but it becomes strong when the water is running out and I worry that the engine burns, since the capacity of 1.5 liters can work quickly. While the ceramic finish is easy to clean, it is faithful to disassemble. We advise you to clean it once a week to prevent it from becoming slimy and you have to change the filter Once a month. —Simon Hill

Petkit eversseet only 2 per $ 50: I love three key features of this fountain: the bowl is on a wireless charging base, so you don’t have to play with the cables, it is super easy to clean and is very silent to about 25 decibels. A flashing light warns you when the water is running out and you can check when the filter must be changed to the app. There is an optional intelligent mode that pumps intermittently and a night mode to turn off the light. Pleasantly, all three of our cats drink from this fountain, even if this means that I have to recharge it often, since it contains only 2 liters. Unfortunately, the filters are very expensive $ 20 for five. —Simon Hill

Cat cate mate at 3 FONDA PET for $ 28: This high automatic fountain for cats stands out with three levels for cats who love to drink at all levels. Motor cleaning requires disassembly using extensive tools and soaking. Due to the long distance that the water must travel, the evaporation caused the recharge of the water every two days. Plastic also houses bacteria and the previous plastic models that I owned have had mold problems. The pelvis is quite large and is flat. For this reason, some debris sat on the bottom and in the front of the large basin rather than returning to the filter system behind. The plastic material and the lack of ergonomic design of gravity have caused this fountain more dirty than others.

Whisker City Free Fall Fall Funtein for $ 40: This huge fountain is more suitable for dogs, with a large 150 fluid bowl and a waterfall design. Although the pelvis has a small splash pad to help compensate the noise of the waterfall, this was one of the no most noisy fountains that I tested. The evaporation from the waterfall system also made me recharge it on alternate days. Due to the structure of the fountain, my cats had to bend their heads to an embarrassing corner. They tended to avoid drinking from the pelvis for this, and their heads were slightly wet from the sketches of the waterfall. Even the pelvis is not angled, therefore crumbs and debris sit at the bottom of the bowl.

PetsNowy Snow+ Automatic Water Fountain for Pets for $ 55: The PetsNowy Automatic Snow Fountain is very simple: it is a curved square design in which the water is pumped through a hole in the upper part and the residual water is pedaling through a circular filter system. This fountain is connected to an app that does not do much but acts as a reminder to clean it and has a countdown when the filter must be replaced. Unlike others in this list, this fountain does not really have a higher tank to preserve water in case of energy insufficiency: when turned off, it remains very little water in the upper area. Filling it is a little complicated without taking off the top and the water often has poured.

Petkit eversseet only if for $ 27: This very simple and direct fountain has a square -shaped body, is translucent to easily see the water levels from the outside and has an almost silent cordless pump with 25 decibels to circulate the water from the pelvis to the upper level, where 60 milliliters of water are always available to drink, even in case of power failure. The pelvis is located on a base and all parts detach themselves easily, making it easier to clean. This fountain has no more ways or an associated app: you will have to manually control water levels. I noticed that this fountain was not cold like some of the others and, due to the design of the top, the debris often gathered in the immersed areas, which made me clean often.
