She's been going on shopping trips to Victoria's Secret while she's supposed to be under house arrest.

She still has at least two horses registered in her name.

And she hasn't paid a single penny toward her $200,000 restitution.

But Lin Marie, the woman who operated a supposed cat sanctuary in Frazer known as Tiger Ranch where hundreds of cats were buried in mass graves, will have a chance to remedy all of those things.

If not, Allegheny County Judge Jill A. Rangos said that she could revoke the woman's probation and resentence her on 12 counts of animal cruelty and two counts of tampering with records. Each animal cruelty charge could carry a maximum sentence of two years incarceration.

Ms. Marie, formerly known as Linda Bruno, was sentenced on Jan. 8 to serve two years house arrest, to be followed by 27 years probation. In addition, she was ordered to pay $200,000 restitution to the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, as well as $21 per day for electronic monitoring fees.

However, during a two-hour hearing on Tuesday, the district attorney's office told Judge Rangos that Ms. Marie has failed to meet a number of conditions of her probation. In addition to not paying restitution or probation fees, she has been traveling without permission outside of Allegheny County, still has the Tiger Ranch website in operation and moved out of her aunt's home, where she was required to live as part of her probation.

Further, Assistant District Attorney Deborah Jugan said that the woman has been going shopping at the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills, and at stores like Lowe's and Victoria's Secret.

Under the conditions of electronic monitoring, Ms. Marie is only to leave her home for work, mental health counseling and to shop for necessities.

Though Judge Rangos took no action against Ms. Marie on Tuesday, she did give her a litany of items for which she must provide written verification before an official probation revocation hearing on May 28.

If there are continuing violations at that point, the judge said she might as well put her in jail.

"We will resentence you as if we never sentenced you."

Judge Rangos told Ms. Marie on Tuesday that she must pay $1,200 toward restitution and costs by this Friday, as well as $1,200 by the end of each month until she verifies her employment and wages.

The woman works at an area nursing home and as a dietary consultant for others.

Throughout the hearing, Judge Rangos repeatedly questioned Ms. Marie's veracity.

"A lot of things here make it look like she's still playing shell games with me," the judge said. "I can't take her word for anything."

Judge Rangos also expressed disgust for having to deal with mundane details of probation, which Ms. Marie should have previously taken care of.

In addition to the questions about employment and electronic monitoring, Ms. Jugan also told the judge she was worried about the welfare of more than 100 animals Ms. Marie gave to friends to care for following the raid on Tiger Ranch in March 2008.

The prosecutor asked that the judge require verification of the animals' whereabouts before the next hearing. One of the conditions of Ms. Marie's probation is that she is to have no contact with any animals.

In the meantime, about 30 of the 240 cats that survived after rescue are still available for adoption. Adoption events will be held on Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. at Burton's Total Pet in Irwin and Petco at the Waterfront. The cats can also be viewed at www.tigerranchrescues.com.
