The Catit fountain is in the Drs F&S catalog too. They have several kinds.

I got Sugar's fountain at Drs. Foster & Smith on line but don't remember how
much it was. It has the charcoal filters too. Once she got used to it, she
likes it.

Our local Meijer store carries it for $35, but it went on sale a couple
wks
ago for $19.99. I figured if they wouldn't use it I could get that much
back by reselling it on eBay.

Google [ Catit fountain ] and you'll find it available lots of places. I
saw a new one at Amazon Prime for $19.95 plus shipping.
