Cat water fountains · Choose by your needs
A cat fountain for RFID-tagged individual drinking records
For collar-tag activation and separate cat-attributed records, the documented choice is PETLIBRO Dockstream RFID Smart Fountain PLWF305. It is corded, uses its supplied shield for one-at-a-time access, supports up to five cats with compatible paired PETLIBRO tags, and includes two tags. This is not microchip reading, camera recognition, or a cordless fountain.
- Use compatible paired collar tags for each cat.
- The exact flow and record setup is outlet-powered and requires the supplied shield.

Set up each cat, not just the app
Every cat needs a compatible paired tag. The exact product package includes two tags, with additional compatible tags needed to use the documented five-cat capacity. Install the supplied shield for the one-at-a-time drinking arrangement and confirm tag fit before relying on a record; a collar tag is not an implanted microchip.
Do not substitute a sensor or camera
A motion sensor can trigger water without knowing which pet approached. The PETKIT EverSweet Ultra uses camera profiles; that is not RFID. If a camera system is acceptable, its separate page describes the supported profile cap and accuracy limit. If no outlet is available, this corded RFID configuration does not meet the battery requirement.
Questions that change the choice
Can an implanted microchip identify a cat here?
The exact PLWF305 product information specifies compatible paired PETLIBRO collar tags, not implanted microchips. Do not assume another reader or tag brand works.
How many cats can the documented setup attribute?
The maker supports up to five cats with compatible paired tags. Two tags are supplied; buy additional compatible tags if needed and pair each cat correctly.
Does the shield come with the fountain?
The exact PLWF305 listing includes a compatible shield and says it is required for the one-at-a-time arrangement. Check the package/model code before buying, because another Dockstream package may differ.
Can this model run without an outlet?
No rechargeable plan is documented for PLWF305. It uses the supplied adapter; choose another task if battery operation is essential.
