"For anyone looking for a Maine Coon Cat I want to recommend DCFD Maine Coons. A couple of years ago I lost my 18 year old cat and decided to find a Maine Coon to come and live with me. I looked for almost 2 years and met some interesting people. It wasn’t until I found DCFD that I was willing to bring a kitten home. Karen and Chuck not only have beautiful kittens but their kittens are sweet and gentle Their kittens do not leave for their new homes unless they are using the litter box and eating well on their own. I now have 2 kittens from Karen & Chuck and have had no problems with them. They are healthy and very loving. I would not go to anyone else for a kitten. I highly recommend them. Harry and Stella are doing well. Thanks for trusting me with them."

"DCFD is an awesome breeder. Karen and Chuck made it very easy to purchase a Maine Coon. They are very friendly and easy to work with. All their cats are beautiful and friendly. We adopted a cream and white Maine Coon from them. She is such a sweet girl and is very kid friendly. We wouldn’t adopt a Maine Coon from anyone else. They are definitely an A+ breeder!!!!!"

"Francis is awesome. We love him so much!! We are extremely happy with you as breeders and the qualify of our baby. He's absolutely GORGEOUS!!"

"Our experience with DCFD honestly goes back to the very beginning of our search for our new baby. Early this year my husband and I were looking for a Maine Coon kitten to keep the one we already had company. I started googling places local to me. But nothing was coming up. So I expanded my search and found DCFD Maine Coon’s. I was checking out the website and then noticed the link to Facebook that they had. As soon as I saw their babies I just knew I had to talk to Karen. I was so in love with the reds that I just had to know if there was any available. I completely forgot to check how far they were from me until I had already submitted my application for my new baby. But by that time I was all in and it didn’t matter that it was a 5 ½ hour drive south of us. I could just tell by all of the pictures and videos that she had posted that every single one of those babies was very loved and cared for. They take their time with each baby as much as possible. The care and love that they pour into these babies is unmatchable to any other place I’ve ever seen. And they are amazing with people as well. Karen was so patient with us and really worked with us through a little bit of a rough patch and then we were finally able to come get our baby in April. We were enamored with Leia (fka Nora) from the moment I saw her and picked her up. They welcomed us into their home with all the love in the world. Chuck was so patient with my kids (5 ½ hours couped up in a car is a long time for a 6, 7 and 9 year old) who wanted to pet and touch every single animal in the house. There are not enough good words that I can say about DCFD Maine Coons and Chuck and Karen. Amazing, wonderful, caring, loving and compassionate are to just name a few. If you are wondering if you should get your next baby from DCFD, wonder no more. Stop searching because you’ve already found the place you need. Thank you Chuck and Karen for an amazing and loving fur baby that wouldn’t trade for the world. I cannot imagine my life without her!! And if we ever decide to get another Maine Coon again, it will definitely be from Chuck and Karen."

"We found DCFD website after we were ready to get a new cat (our first maine coon died because of genetic abnormalities and it was too hard for us to get a new cat the same breed). Communication with Karen was easy and she readily understood my fears and assured me that her kittens won't have such problems. Long story short, we a super happy with our Kovu-the most loving and most friendly cat in my life. Kovu helps us to forget difficult times and brings warmth to our home. Thank you Karen."

We adopted our Ginger from Karen and Chuck on May 21st, 2017. Interacting with Karen & Chuck was so easy. They are both very down to earth, knowledgeable, and willing to share their knowledge. They answered every question in a very timely fashion. Even after we already had Ginger in our care they continued to help answer our questions & any concerns. They love all of their animals & it shows in every contact.
We were thrilled with updates of photos & videos before we were able to pick Ginger up. It was so exciting to be able to watch her & we felt like we loved her before we even met. I became hooked loving the updates that felt almost daily.
We are beyond thrilled with our Ginger (fka. Kiki). She is the most fun, loving, playful kitten. Did I mention she is loving? She never stops purring. She cuddles right into your neck. She follows us all over the house. She’s not afraid of anything. I followed Karen & Chucks instructions on nail clipping & bathing & I am amazed at how easily she is to care for. She actually now holds out her paw to have her nails clipped. I even use the hair dryer on her after a bath. I can’t believe she will let me. She just loves to be with her people & other fur babies (2 elderly Labrador Retrievers). She is excellent with our two daughters (age 3 & 6). Our 3 year old loves to carry her all over & Ginger adores her. We all giggle at her sweet kisses. If we go out she hangs in her cat tree & as soon as she hears the door open she comes running to greet us. Initially I was hesitant on getting a female because I had heard they aren’t as affectionate as a male. I don’t know how she could possibly be more affectionate. We just absolutely love her.
Thank you so much Karen & Chuck for being so loving and so attentive and interacting so much with each kitten. It is so evident as I’ve never met such an outgoing kitty. Even when she first meets friends & family she comes to greet & is so very friendly…just as your older cats were when we came to pick her up. You breed amazing cats. We would recommend you to anyone & everyone. One day we’d love to adopt another kitty.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

I looked for a breeder for a while before choosing Karen and Chuck. After a horrible experience in an animal shop in NYC, and long online searches, I decided to send DCFD an application. After scrolling their website and FB page, I fell in love with their cats (I honestly couldn't find a cattery with better looking cats!), I spent hours looking at the adorable pictures of their previous litters, was impresse...d by all the prizes, and was finally convinced to make the move after reading all the fabulous reviews that new "parents" had written... SO here is mine :)
I just adopted a female in May 2017 from DCFD, and I could not be more thankful to Karen and Chuck for the amazing job they have done: When I picked her up, I could not believe my eyes for how pretty she was. Of course, I had seen billions of pictures (posted almost daily on FB since the day the kittens were born!), but I did not expect such a gorgeous kitten. And that's not even the best part! She is the most healthy, funny, sociable kitten I have ever seen. Everybody (friends, vet) is amazed by how balanced and curious she is. Clearly, Karen and Chuck do it all so that their kittens have the best possible first months in life. It is priceless to adopt a kitten who already fully trusts humans (since day one, she's been loving every new person she met, no hiding, never scared!), and who is used to having a nails cut, regular baths, etc. I am so grateful for the time and effort Karen and Chuck put into this, they breed fantastic cats, beautiful inside and out!

Dear Karen and Chuck,
I wanted to take some time here to thank you guys for breeding beautiful healthy KITTENS!!! You can tell that you guys fully dedicate your time to taking care of your kittens and socializing them so they are ready for their new homes. I was lucky enough that I found your website while researching for breeders close to New York for my 3rd Maine coon. When I contacted Karen she was very polite and responsive to all my e...-mails and questions. When I was able to reserve a kitten from Chandi's litter Karen was always giving me updated pictures Of Simba now Shamus on facebook which was awesome. I wasn't able to meet Karen while I picked up Shamus but I met Chuck who's a great guy and he answered all my questions and gave me instructions how to care for my new kitten!!! This was a great experience for me meeting Chuck and picking up the kitten. Shamus is a lively,spunky very affectionate kitten. He has no fear either!!! I highly recommend DCFD Maine Coons to anyone looking for a Maine coon Kitten you won't be disappointed!!!
Sincerely,Tom - NY (2017)
"We have been wanting a Maine Coon for quite some time and it took us a long time to find a cattery that would satisfy all of our needs and desires. Not only does DCFD Maine Coons look great on paper but Karen and Chuck absolutely love what they do, which was our final deciding factor. They were always very responsive to our questions and kept us up-to-date. Once our kitten was born and reserved, we got multiple pictures and updates on how he was doing. On the scheduled pick up date, we got a very healthy kitten. We also got a good set of instructions on how to feed, groom and take care of the baby boy, as well as, an open line for any questions or concerns we may have. If we ever decide to get another Maine Coon, we will definitely be getting him/her from Karen and Chuck. Thank you for all of your efforts and the love you put in every one of your kittens! We are glad to be part of this family!" :)

Dear Karen and Chuck - I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for our beautiful new boy, Bax. He is adjusting well to his new home. Being able to follow his progress and growth with the tons of pictures you provided allowed us to enjoy him from afar while we waited for him to be old enough to come home. He is playful and cuddly. You both did a great job! We could not be happier.

Dear Chuck and Karen,
I just wanted to thank you for my little girl. I had wanted a Maine Coon for years and after much research, I found your cattery. I can't express my gratitude enough for how comfortable I felt communitcating with the two of you and how easy you made the process of having one of my dreams come true...Sierra (Belle.).Your cats are beyond beautiful, especially in person, and friendly beyond words (shout out to Cricket).I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you personally, but Chuck made me feel very comfortable and answered all my questions. He didn't rush me out of the house and he made sure I met everyone, including the pups. After I was done talking with him about your history of the cattery, I had no doubt I had made the right choice.Thank you again for sharing your love of he breed with us and for breeding such beautiful cats.Sincerely,Stephanie - PA (2017)
Good Afternoon Karen and Chuck,
I know it's been awhile since we first picked Phoenix up, but I wanted to write and say thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful kitten. I am so fortunate to have found the two of you because you raise beautiful, healthy cats and kittens. After losing two cats within a few months of each other it was difficult to move on, but after reading all the thoughtful recommendations on your website we decided to take a chance and start a new beginning, hence the name Phoenix. When I reached out to you and explained our situation you were so compassionate and understanding, I knew you were the right fit!
Despite this being your second job, you answered all of my questions within 24 hrs. There were no questions, too big or too small, that you wouldn't answer, especially since this was my first time using a breeder. I appreciated and understood your process. I have to say the hardest part of it all was the waiting, but you took the time to take pictures and video so that we were able to see him grow and play. We were so anxious on pick-up day. We couldn't wait to meet our new fur baby! The feeling you get when you walk in your house is that of love. You are such down to earth people and it's as if the cats know you are now part of the big family. We particularly fell in love with Cricket and often talk about her :)
Thank you again for everything, Phoenix is an amazing addition to our family!
Best wishes,
Will and Alison - PA (2017 )
"Timothy has been such a wonderful addition to our family. He's not only beautiful but very friendly, playful and loving. He loves to snuggle and cuddle and be held.
Timothy is also very healthy, which was the most important thing to me. When my vet examined him, she was so impressed with his looks and said he was very healthy.
Karen was fabulous, she sent me pictures and gave me updates…. The waiting to pick up my little fur baby was long, but it was worth the wait, and having all the pictures and updates made it easier.
Timothy is wonderful and Karen is fantastic to work with. She loves her cats and all the kittens and it shows. She spends time with them, and they are very well socialized when the leave for their forever home.
When I get another maine coon, it will only be from DCFD. "
Thank you,
Karen - NJ (2017)
Have a wonderful weekend. :)THANK YOU SO MUCH!We actually attended a cat show together a couple of years ago in Timonium, MD, which is where we fell in love with Maine Coons. I knew I had to have one in the future from that point on! We started our search for reputable breeders a couple of months ago and Ryan stumbled upon your website. We were both quite impressed with what we saw and already felt comfortable, which was not the case with a handful of other sites we found. We were happy to see numerous photos of your cats, strict rules to maintain healthy kitties, and a kitten application. I was so excited that Ryan found you and was so thrilled that my dream of owning a Maine Coon could soon come true! We were impressed from the beginning and still are to this day - almost one month after bringing our girl home and about 4 months after finding you. When we were able to pick up our girl, the love in your house was very apparent. This shows in our own kitten, too! Binx is quite a lover and gets along with our two older cats wonderfully. Even to this day, we thank you for being available to answer any questions or concerns. We will always recommend you to others and will always come to you if our family decides to grow any larger.Hi Karen and Chuck,Ryan and I wanted to reach out to you and thank you again for our precious new baby, Binx!Heather & Ryan - MD (2017)
"I had been looking for a Maine Coon kitten for about 6 months when I found Karen and Chuck of DCFD Maine Coons. I had met several other breeders prior that I did not feel comfortable with. One in particular was very bad. I found that the kittens from these breeders did not even look like a Maine Coon. I finally found DCFD and I was impressed. I was required to complete a kitten application and thought this was an excellent way to screen prospective kitten owners. It told me that DCFD put the welfare of their kittens first. They also stipulated on their website that they don't allow prospective kitten adoptees to visit the kittens. I also liked that they put the health of their kittens first and don't take chances that the kittens would get sick. I wanted a healthy kitten. Karen will send all the pictures anyone could possibly want. She will send pictures of the kittens parents and siblings. She is constantly posting pictures on Facebook to show everyone these beautiful kittens.
Now I want to tell you about my kitten, Harry. I picked him up at 12 weeks. He was healthy, curious, and not timid. I have 2 Australian Shepherds and he fit right in with them. He uses the litter box without fail. He is lovable and purrs constantly. He is playful and a joy to have in my home. I took him to my vet and they were very impressed. At 12 weeks he already weighed a little over 3 pounds. 2 weeks later I took him for shots and he was 5 pounds. He isn't plump just big as he should be. He looks like a Maine Coon. He gets in the usual kitten trouble but is very gentle. I am very happy I found DCFD. Next week I pickup my second kitten named Stella.
When I picked Harry up Karen was working and Chuck was there. Chuck was very nice and explained what I should feed my kitten. He gave me all the shot information he was very good at making sure I would care for Harry in the best way. There were several other cats that were very loving and not at all afraid of me. I very much enjoyed meeting all of them.
I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a healthy, well adjusted, and loving kitten to contact Karen and Chuck. You won't be disappointed."

"Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): St Louis Complete Customer Review of DCFD MAINE COONS. Chuck and Karen are very Professional and accommodating to customer needs! What a wonderful breeder/cattery.
Spoiler Alert - I hated cats for over 30 years! I am VERY allergic to cats. I purchased two Maine coons from a breeder in Kentucky because I love my wife more than my physical comfort. To my surprise, this particular breed of cats does not cause an allergic reaction for a lot of people. Luckily I have NO allergic reactions to this breed. SOMEHOW I fell in love with one of the cats I purchased (Bandit), who died after a few years from congestive heart failure. The breeder is no longer in operation and stated they never had any heart health issues. I was/am extremely skeptical of their reply.
I searched for a few months to find myself a new little buddy. I located DCFD MAINE COONS website. I had no problems making contact with Chuck. I explained my situation and expressed my concerns. I advised Chuck what my preferences were. Chuck was very reassuring. He outlined how he and his wife conduct business. Chuck informed me what each step in the process to purchase a kitten from them would entail. I was advised to complete the kitten inquiry/application form, which I did. Chuck or Karen notified me after the birth or each litter regarding the kittens color and sex. I declined each litter until a kitten was born meeting my preferred criteria.
Around September of 2016 a litter was produced meeting my preferred criteria. I selected the kitten I liked. I received deposit instructions from Karen and Chuck to use PayPal, which was very easy and safe to do. I was provided health and picture updates as my kitten (Ranger) progressed. I was emailed the contract to review and sign. I was emailed kitten care instructions, veterinarian instructions, and tips on traveling with a new kitten and introducing kittens to other pets in the home. Chuck and Karen offered to meet me at the airport to transfer custody of Ranger. They saved me so much time and money through this whole process! The peace of mind was just as valuable to me.
The Big day finally came in December 2016. I flew from St Louis to Philadelphia. Chuck met me at the airport gate. Everything Chuck and Karen promised was delivered. They were wonderful to do business with, easy to communicate with, and they made every step clear. I always knew where I was in the process and what was expected by each party.
Chuck and Karen are very professional and accommodating to my requests. I LOVE my new buddy Ranger. My older maine coon (Storm) and Ranger are buddies. The kids give both our cats so much attention. They each have a great disposition. This is a wonderful family breed. Ranger is a great addition to our family."
Thanks for everything Chuck and Karen!

"I always wanted a maine coon kitten but it took nearly 2 years to finally find a breeder that I felt comfortable to trust. Karen and Chuck were very accommodating, responsive, they replied to every email I sent. I wanted a ginger red male and as soon as they got one, Karen sent me his picture and I fell in love with him and ended up getting that kitten. He is now 4 months old and he is huge!!! Adorable, has a great personality, very curious, he is so sociable, he feels like he needs to be part of every activity in the house. My family went through several loses and unfortunate events for the past 3 years. I felt like our house lost the joy it had. Our new kitten, we named him Nathaniel, brought it back! I 've read that maine coons normally choose a leader in the family. I was hoping to be the one but Nathaniel picked my son, Tim, he is 23. It is quite moving to watch how they interact. Nathaniel kisses him on the lips, he sleeps on his chest and when Tim is home, he never leaves his side. That unconditional love! I never had pets before and if someone would tell me that a kitten will sleep in my bed one day, I would never believe it. But our baby gets away with everything. He was well trained, found his litter as soon as we brought him home! We went to Karen's house to pick him up and we got to meet all of her wonderful members of their maine coon family. All cats came over to greet us, purring around, it was amazing. Karen's house is filled with love and care, we did not want to leave! If you are looking for maine coon, I would highly recommend this wonderful home!"
thanks again

"We received an orange Maine Coon from DCFD Maine Coons. We found the process of working with Karen and Chuck very easy and professional. From communication, to Maine Coon insights, to post pick up followup, they have been great. Our new family member, Benny, is in good health and has a great temperament. I *strongly* recommend anyone considering a Maine Coon for pet or for show talk to Karen and Chuck. You will be very happy that you did."Oz - PA (2016)
"I don't really have a bucket list but if I did having a Maine coon cat or two would have been on that list. I am the type of person whom researches everything from appliances to vitamins to home alarm systems etc.. During my research for Maine coons I found Karen and Chuck's website DCFD Maine Coon Cats among many others which I WAS NOT IMPRESSED by. I got the feeling from the get go that they were the best choice. Now, I was nervous about them choosing me. In this world I think we need to follow our gutt instincts more often and I think they had a good feeling about me. I guess they did because at this moment I am laying on my bed writing this with my two absolutely beautiful brother and sister Maine Coons Eddie and Valerie who just got baths and two of my five pomeranians. Speaking of baths, I wasn't sure which soap to use, so I asked Karen this morning and got an answer right away. Any questions you have they are right there to answer them. I now understand how rough it is trying to snap a picture of a kitten but Karen made time to send pictures often of the babies at different ages. I can say this I looked forward to getting those pictures sooo much. My trip to pick them up was long, coming from CT. I was greeted with open arms and paws. I loved not only seeing Karen kissing the cats but Chuck too..lol. The best decision I made was getting two kittens at the same time. They really love each other. They just play and play, eat and sleep together.. If you want to feel good inside about choosing the best breeder, I highly recommend DCFD Maine Coon Cats. Their cats are friendly, beautiful, and well socialized."

"We found out about Chuck and Karen through another breeder since they didn't have the kitten we were hoping for. Since day one I was very pleased at how much they knew and cared about animals. We were fortunate enough to not have to wait too long for our kitten (Bruce, aka Phelps) since they just had a litter. Throughout the process Chuck reassured me of all my concerns and Karen was always able to provide great information and feedback. They are not a backyard breeder, they are always around to answer any questions and to help you even after you've picked up your kitten. The quality of their cats is magnificent, I had researched for a long time to find the perfect regal/wild looking Maine Coon with a friendly and gentle personality and that is exactly what they delivered. Their cats are beautiful and have a very European look to them which is exactly what we were hoping for. I would recommend them to anyone who is a true cat lover. "-Fareeha & Dave - MD (2016)
