The silent water fountain for cats.
No pump. No cord. No motor hum. The Torus MINI stores fresh, filtered water inside its walls and releases it into a shallow drinking well as your cat drinks.
Why cats don't drink enough.
Cats are naturally low drinkers, and many are fussy about where and how they drink. Common reasons a cat ignores its water:
- Noise. The hum or trickle of an electric fountain pump can put nervous cats off.
- Stale water. Water left sitting in an open bowl collects dust and hair.
- Whiskers. Deep, narrow bowls make some cats uncomfortable when their whiskers touch the sides.
- Position. A bowl that slides, tips or splashes is easy to avoid.
Cats are especially vulnerable to kidney problems when they don't drink enough, so making water appealing matters.
Water stored. Released only when they drink.
Completely silent
Torus has no pump, no motor and no batteries. Water flows into the drinking well by gravity, so there is nothing to hum, buzz or spook a nervous cat.
Whisker-friendly well
A shallow, open drinking well instead of a deep, narrow bowl.
Filtered every drink
Water passes through a replaceable activated carbon filter on its way to the well. The filter removes up to 99% of common impurities. Replace it every 30 days.

About non-electric cat water fountains.
Yes. The Torus MINI is a non-electric, filtered water dispenser for cats. Water is stored inside its walls and flows into the drinking well by gravity as your cat drinks. There is no pump, no cord and no battery to charge.
Yes. With no pump or motor, Torus makes no sound at all, which suits nervous or noise-sensitive cats.
Many cats avoid fountains because of pump noise or moving water. Torus offers still, filtered water in a shallow, open well, which many fussy drinkers prefer. Every cat is different, so give your cat a few days to get used to it.
Some cats play with water or paw at a light bowl. The Torus MINI has a weighted base that is very hard to tip, and only a shallow amount of water sits in the well, so there is little to splash. Read: 7 reasons cats knock over water bowls
Change the filter every 30 days. Once a week, fill the MINI with warm soapy water, lock the cap, shake, then empty and rinse. The Cleaning Kit descaling tablets make this easier.
Yes. The MINI holds 34 oz, which covers a full day for two cats. Change the filter more often in multi-cat homes.
