I can't believe Dolly is almost 8 months old!  I would recommend Maine Delite to anyone looking for a beautiful and well-adjusted cat.  Dolly recently visited my grandma's house, and while her 2 cats were hiding she was confidently moving from room to room and owning them all.  I can't say enough good things about the careful socialization Maine Delite kittens receive.  Dolly is a gorgeous confident kitten and we have Mickey and Marilyn to thank.  If you are looking for a Maine coon kitten look no further.  Andrea

I lost my beloved Maine Coon, Baxter, after 18 wonderful years. I told my husband I would never have another cat, because I could never find one that loved like he did. Well, about 3 weeks after his passing, I couldn't stand the loneliness and lack of companionship. I started the search for another Maine Coon. After contacting several breeders near and far and after visiting a few of them, I was fortunate to find Mickeys website and gave her a call. 


Mickey had one male left..which was what I wanted. She text me a picture and he looked just like my Baxter as a kitten. It was obvious that she was just as excited to have someone so passionate about finding her precious kittens. When we went to pick up (Prince), she spent about a 1/2 hour talking to us, instructing us on how to care for him and showed us several Maine Coon cats of her own. They were breathtaking! Also, its worth mentioning, that her home was immaculate. 


My cat is beautiful and his markings are like nothing I've ever seen before...the people at my vet office are crazy about him and have all said he is the most beautiful Maine Coon they've ever seen. I have called Mickey for advice on how to properly care for him and she is always there to answer any questions. I feel so lucky to have my new boy and to have Mickey as a new friend.

After much research on Maine Coon breeders we decided Mickey and Maine Delite was where we wanted to get our kitten from.  From the very beginning Mickey was wonderful to work with.  After talking to her I could tell she was very knowledgable and passionate about the breed and I knew we had made the right decision to go with her and Marilyn. Our kitten was born on July 1st and after selecting and confirming which kitten we wanted , Mickey sent us weekly emails with updates and pictures.  It was really fun to watch her grow.  When we went to pick up our kitten ( Annabelle ) at Mickey's home in Ohio, Mickey sat down and talked with our entire family ( including our 3 children ) about kitten care and introducing her to our other cat . A lot of the stuff she told us really made an impression on our kids.  Especially the part about " Whoever whispers the softest is the one she will go to the most". Annie made the adjustment to our home a and her feline brother with no problem at all . She is a strong , confident ,  affectionate , loving and beautiful cat.  She doesn't hide from strangers and is always willing to snuggle and cuddle with a great deal of purring. I have no regrets getting our cat from Mickey and would not hesitate to get another cat from her when the time is right . Rita Ostapchenko and family

I researched every Maine Coon breeder in the United States before choosing Maine Delite/Maine Glory.  I came across Mickey’s website and I loved the look and feel of it in regards to her amazing Maine Coons!  The cats were just gorgeous and I was very impressed with the message that Mickey sent via her words and images about her regard for these amazing Maine Coons.  Health was a very important consideration for me and my criteria for health testing and screening was more than met.  Mickey’s follow through from start to finish was absolutely excellent.  Mickey kept me informed every step of the way during the process of waiting for my kitten to be born and then choosing him.  It was so exciting!  I received weekly updates and photographs of my beautiful baby boy.  I lived for those pictures!  Any questions I had were expertly and professionally answered.   It was a great experience throughout!    My husband and I went to a Cat Show in Ohio to see meet Mickey and Marilyn and see some of their amazing Maine Coons.  They were both so warm and welcoming, and shared their passion and knowledge about these stunning cats!  We felt like part of their family.  Mickey and Marilyn are so passionate, dedicated, and caring about their Maine Coons and and are just wonderful people!  We picked up our beautiful baby boy, Wizard, from Marilyn at Maine Glory on 9/26/15..  He was way more than I ever had hoped for or dreamed about!! Wizard is such a joyous surprise and a beautiful gem of a Maine Coon!!!  He is so loving, happy, busy, playful, smart, and beautiful!!!  Marilyn did such  an absolutely amazing and wonderful job raising him that I am in awe!!  Wizard is totally loved and cherished.  He embodies the love, breeding , and spirit of Mickey and Marilyn’s terrific Maine Coon Family!!!  Wizard is the heart of our home and we will be forever grateful for the gift of this cat in our lives that Mickey and Marilyn provided.  Mickey and Marilyn are truly the best of the best and their Maine Coon legacy has no equal.  They have my highest recommendation!!!!

After loosing our two 16 yr. old main coons it took us two years to find the perfect breeder...and we found that in Michele and Marilyn.  They cover all bases every time.  No question goes unanswered no matter how trivial.  We felt like we knew them both personally before ever meeting them. Michele was diligent in finding us the perfect kitten and ever so patient with all the phone calls and emails. We received weekly progress reports with pictures.  At eight weeks we were invited to visit our baby girl at Marilyn's for the day.  We spent the entire morning with her and her grandson Gavin.  We couldn't have felt more at home...In fact, Gavin had named Jessie when she was born so we thought it only fitting to keep that name.  It was awesome to see all the cats and how they were raised.  At 12 weeks, Marilyn drove Jessie to Michele's house to shorten our trip and again another awesome experience.  At Michele's we again were greeted w/open arms and had another opportunity to see how awesome their cattery really is. All their cats are raised underfoot and truly part of their family.  We not only picked up our baby girl Jessie that day but came home with another little bundle of joy named Harley (my husband just couldn't resist).  And these two fur balls have been the center of our universe since.  There are many breeders out there but you will never find ones like Maine Delite & Maine Glory.

Miya born 2008 and Mia born 2009... Some time had passed after losing our last Maine Coon and we decided it was like half a life without one or two feline companions.  I started searching for a breeder and found Mickey.  I called, scheduled an appointment and drove down from Ann Arbor to Dublin to meet her and her wonderful "family".  We loved the atmosphere she provided.  The breeder that I had dealt with in the past had the cats housed in a separate "cattery".  Mickey has her cats living in the house with her, which I think plays a significant part towards having cats that are extremely well socialized.  We met Miya, who was pregnant at the time.  We loved her disposition and made a reservation for two of her kittens when they became available.  As the weeks passed, one would think that I was waiting to give birth to my own child!  Mickey gave us regular updates and the big day finally arrived!  Mickey sent photos and we were kitten smitten.  When the kittens were a few weeks old, Mickey invited us down to meet them.  My husband and I thought we wanted two female kittens.  In the end what happened was we were able to bring home Miya, the Momma and 12 weeks later we went back and brought home her daughter Mia.  They are now ages 7 and 6 and so very delightful.  Mickey once referred to Miya as "none sweeter" and that could not be more true.  When I take her to the vet or the groomer, she is the star.  I am always told that they have never met a cat as gentle and agreeable as Miya.  Her daughter is a playful, curious darling.  We call her "The Detective".  They make the perfect pair.  Mickey has gone above and beyond, not only in producing beautiful, well adjusted pets, but has continued to be available for any type of advice. I have contacted her for advice on feeding and grooming and she has walked me through step by step every single time.  I don't believe one could find a breeder who is more dedicated and knowledgeable than Mickey.  If you are interested in having a Maine Coon come and join your family, I would look no further than Maine Delite.

Hello everyone, my husband and I have been blessed with three of Michele's wonderful cats. We have one boy and two girls who happened to be half-sisters. You couldn't find a better breeder, or a more supportive person to help raise your babies than  Mickey. Any question you have she will answer, any problem you have she can solve, and she shares in all the joys and love that you will find with her cats.


I searched high and low and when I found Maine Delite I knew I had found a fantastic home where these beautiful kittens get an amazing start . They are loved and nurtured and are very well-adjusted. I highly recommend Michele and her kittens. Her cats are loving and beautiful and she is absolutely wonderful. I'm including a picture of my brood, the big guy in the front is Cosmo born 2008 he's my 22 pound boy, and the two sisters are behind him Star born 2008 (Sissy)  is on the left and Sophie born 2009 is on the right. We love them all very much, they are definitely members of our family who we cherish deeply. Thank you Mickey for these wonderful babies. Paula & Mark K.

Moose AKA Koenig now 5 years old was a stud Maine Delite aquired from Maine Villa in 2010. Sweet boy that produced some amazing babies. We are now in New Mexico. At least for a couple more years. Moose is great. Still shy but the sweetest boy around . He currently spends his days lounging on our patio table and afternoons and evenings snuggled with me on the couch. He greets me every morning with his little chirps.

Truly I can't thank you enough for trusting us with him

I have enjoyed living with my very handsome boy, Blu Bayou since the beginning of 2007, and have found Michele to be a person with the best of standards in intent as well as delivery.

Michele is extremely knowledgeable about Maine Coons and is willing to share her knowledge with anyone who wants to learn.

She also has a lot of heart and knows what it takes to develop a kitten into a precious family pet. 

Michele truly does care about her cats and does her very best to find each the proper and loving forever home. Michele has the best interest of the Maine Coon breed in mind and her cats are lovely, strong and healthy as a result.

Sally is 9 years old and the love of our life. We acquired her from Mickey and Marilyn in 2006 and brought this precious girl home to be a part of our family. She is the sweetest and most loving cat we have ever had. Always with us and still as playful as ever. We adore her! Throughout the years both Mickey and Marilyn have been available for any questions and lots of grooming tips and diet instructions. I have valued the relationship with Maine Delite and Maine Glory as friends and mentors. The process before, during and after getting Sally was professional and more than we would have expected. We are forever grateful for our girl very special girl.

Six years ago our almost 15 year old Maine Coon mix passed. We decided to purchase a pure breed Maine Coon, we just loved their disposition.   So, we bought from another breeder. It was a horrifying experience, our beloved little one became ill and passed away at 11 months old. We were devastated. After awhile the house seemed so empty so we decided to search up other breeders and we talked to many of them. When I saw Maine Delite  I was very impressed. I called Mickey and setup a time to meet her. She was amazing. Her passion and knowledge of  breeding practices was amazing. I explained how fearful we were and she was so understanding and reassuring.

We decided to purchased our Maine Coon kitten from Mickey 4 years ago and she walked us thru the processes. When we picked up our kitten Mickey even went out of her way to go with me to the vet for his wellness checkup to assure me all was well. Our Buster is a wonderful healthy 4 year old cat and a one of a kind personality! lol.

She is always there to answer any concerns or questions we have ever had. What a great friend we have found in her.

In 2009 we tragically lost a much loved 6 year old silver Maine Coon cat to cancer. Over the next year and a half we spoke with many breeders and looked at many, many kittens in our search for our new silver boy.  A friend made me aware of Marilyn and Mickey’s breeding program and in December, 2010 a litter of beautiful silver kittens was born. From the moment we laid eyes on one particular boy, we knew he was “The One."  Today, Ritzy aka GP, RW Maine Delite’s Puttin’ On The Ritz, is a handsome, happy, healthy 4.5 year old who made us all very proud when he became a regional winning show kitty! Though a wee bit shy, Ritzy is amazingly beautiful and extremely loving. Marilyn and Micky have absolutely immaculate homes and are dedicated to breeding healthy as well as beautiful Maine Coons.

A year after losing our second Maine Coon at the age of 16, we brought two sisters home from Maine Glory in Indianapolis, IN. I spoke to Mickey several times once I decided I wanted our new family members to come from her or Marilyn. She was very kind and understanding through the process of finding our girls.

On December 22, 2011, a day after my birthday, a litter was born. Four girls and two boys. We were lucky to call two of those girls ours. Lilly and Twink (Twinkle) have been the most loving, healthy, fun, crazy, and personable cats I have had. They love us and each other, choosing to be near us most of the time. I knew they had been socialized and given loving care before we brought them into our home. They have different personalities but are wonderful cats now at 3-1/2 years old. So glad we found our Maine Coon girls with Mickey and Marilyn.

Over five years ago, my now husband and I drove to Dublin, Ohio to meet my Maine Coon kitten. For months I followed his growth on Mickey’s website, and every week she would send me pictures of my boy (who I named George Washington) that I would share with my family. Since the day I met my Georgie, he’s been nothing but a sweet, good-natured pet who has never hissed or scratched anyone. I love him to pieces. I couldn’t imagine life without him. Mickey gave very specific instructions regarding his care, and how to properly introduce him to his three older sister. So many breeders are concerned only with making money. When you find a breeder who cares more about the lives and health of her cats and kittens than about making a buck, stick with them. Since I adopted my Georgie, I’ve moved from Pennsylvania to Florida, but WHEN (not IF) I’m ready to bring another Maine Coon into our family, I will be on a plane heading back to Dublin. Thanks for five wonderful years that I’ve spent with George, the healthiest, most lovable Maine Coon….and I’m looking forward to many more. Randy from Florida

Three years ago, we picked up a beautiful silver tabby boy from Marilyn, and we have been delighted by our first Maine coon.  Longfellow is incredibly playful and mischievous, but at the same time he loves to nudge and cuddle.  He is incredibly intelligent and intuitive, has never had health issues, and brings us joy every single day.  He loves standing on his hind legs and watching me tend to the aquarium on my kitchen counter, and will sometimes try to grab his food bowl off the counter before it is ready.

I highly recommend a Maine coon from Michele and Marilyn.

We picked up our sweet little smokey-tortie Ruby Begonia in about May, 2012.  What a precious being she is!  She is gorgeous, she is healthy, and she has the most affectionate personality.  We could tell immediately that she had been acclimated to humans most effectively.  She loves to be held – by anyone- she purrs a lot, she loves to play, she is a bit mischievous about finding play things around the house.  At night, she comes to bed and snuggles in so sweetly and once she is asleep, she can not be disturbed.  She is just precious.  Thank you for making such an adorable animal.

I adopted Pete from you in June of 2012. He is 3 ¼ years old now and going strong. Great temperament and I have enjoyed having him every day. No health complications and I appreciated how professional you were in handling both the cats and the transaction. Your house was their house and very clean. You even went the extra mile for me and went to the store to recommend the specific food and litter prior to me driving back home. ( I live 3 hrs away)

I would definitely recommend adopting a cat through you and will again if I end up looking for another Maine Coon.

Thank you, Chris Michigan
