Since I have previously wrote about this sanctuary in this blog, I feel no reservation as to why I shouldn't share this news article with you, along with the sanctuary's response.

There's been a shakeup and now, an investigation, of the Wildcat Sanctuary (TWS).
The Wildcat Sanctuary is located in Sandstone, about an hour south of Duluth. It's one of 9,000 nonprofits registered with the state.
TWS relies solely on private donations to operate, and insiders are now raising questions about where thousands of dollars went.
The founder, Tammy Thies, is under fire after a report claimed embezzlement and fraud. It says the founder was treating the charity's bank account like her own.
If you take a look around, they've got a lot of animals; you'll see cats of all kinds living at the Wildcat Sanctuary. It's the only refuge for those types of wild animals in the state. Each one is a rescue, coming to TWS after being abused or kept as private pets.
Volunteers make sure every cat has a name.
A longtime employee talked to KSTP only after resigning, "There's no question about the care of the animals; there is a question about finances, the donors. The people who really care about the cats -- the money isn't going to them, it's going to Thies' personal needs."
Thies has been the go-to person, rescuing cats and raising funds since 1999. She started small with just a handful of cats, and now the sanctuary cares for 109.
She's seen the refuge through expansion, even a rare April snowstorm that was devastating. Cat enclosures collapsed, animals lives were reportedly at stake. Thies made an urgent pitch to the public for $100,000. Money desperately needed to make repairs at the sanctuary, "she likes to use those cat stories to tug at people's heart strings to get them to open their wallets more."
Sources confirm more than $90,000 worth of donations poured in, from good-hearted Minnesotans. One couple wrote a check for $40 and a note saying "this is all they could afford."
According to multiple sources, it took an estimated $5,000 to make repairs. They say most of the labor and materials were donated. Because The Wildcat Sanctuary is a 501c3, a nonprofit organization, it must abide by certain legal standards including some restrictions on how it spends its money.
Workers noticed discrepancies in the books, some small, some big. Staffers took their suspicions to the nine member board of directors. It hired Dorsey & Whitney, a Minneapolis law firm, to do an independent investigation, and put Thies on administrative leave.
A document delivered to the board in June, was so revealing, half the board stepped down. Including the sanctuary's medical director, Dr. John Baillie. He offered free vet care for years. Dr. Baillie confirmed his resignation over the phone, but wouldn't go into detail.
The finds from Dorsey & Whitney claim Thies violated her fiduciary duties, admitted commingling personal and business funds, committed embezzlement, fraud and theft, even bought her husband skydiving lessons using Wildcat money.
Thies has opened up to KSTP in the past, but wouldn't open the gate of the secure facility to talk with us this time.
According to the Dorsey & Whitney report, she also didn't answer a number of their probing questions.
In September, Thies stepped aside.
The new president of the board, Gail Plewacki, a longtime friend of Thies, wouldn't meet with KSTP in person. He did acknowledged in an email a review several months ago, and went on to insist a separate, special audit recently concluded, "there's been no theft from the organization, any such accusations are patently false, we have never misled donors, we dedicated funding to caring for the cats."
Mike Brannen runs the University of Missouri Alumni Chapter in the Twin Cities, it gave $500 over the summer, "you expect a charity to be someone that you can trust with your money, you take them at face value." He's got more donations, but is holding off for now.
That's what worries longtime sanctuary supporters the most, "we want the cats to stay where they are, we don't want the sanctuary to close down because of one greedy person, Tammy Thies is not The Wildcat Sanctuary, the cats are The Wildcat Sanctuary."
Myk Hamlin is a longtime volunteer, "we want to keep all the cats here, we know if something happens the cats might have to go someplace else, some of them might even have to be euthanized and we don't want to see that."
It's not easy to move the cats around to another shelter. There are only six of them around the country.
KSTP verified The Wildcat Sanctuary is fully accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS). The Director, Patty Finch, says it passed rigorous standards for staffing and finances in 2012, a year before any of these allegations came to light. GFAS hasn't received a single complaint.
KSTP has asked the board president, Gail Plewacki, for a copy of the completed audit, but she's refused to hand it over or explain what happened to money leftover from the snowstorm fundraiser, reportedly about $80,000.
Thies has a new role, Director of Fundraising and Donor Development.
KSTP confirmed the Minnesota Attorney General's office is reviewing and looking at complaints but couldn't tell us if a full investigation is underway.
The AG's office investigates complaints about several hundred charities every year.

Here is the sanctuary's response:
By Staff2 | November 5, 2013 at 4:49 am | No comments | TWS in the News | Tags: star tribune http://www.startribune.com/local/east/230594771.html Allegations that donor money was stolen and animals were mistreated at the Wildcat Sanctuary in Pine County are false, but the refuge did experience a period of turmoil, two board members said Monday. Meanwhile, Tammy Quist Thies, who founded the sanctuary, was reinstated Monday as executive director after months of being in charge of fundraising. “We are looking forward,” she said. The nonprofit sanctuary harbors big wildcats, including lions and tigers, that were abandoned by private owners or became threats to public safety in Minnesota. About 100 cats live behind locked fences in a rural area near Sandstone, Minn., in a refuge funded by private donations. Gail Plewacki, who chairs the board, said an independent audit of finances was commissioned this fall. “What it told us was that we didn’t lose any money, no one’s stealing from the sanctuary, period,” she said. The sanctuary has an annual budget of about $850,000, which includes staff salaries and the care and feeding of wildcats. Some donors and volunteers alleged that money was missing and wildcats were being neglected. Peggy Callahan, one of the new board members, said “disgruntled people” started rumors that led to upheaval at the sanctuary.“It’s a bunch of hostile hearsay,” she said. “Nothing will stand up in the light of day. There’s nothing to see.”Four of the sanctuary’s six board members are new, and a keeper of the cats resigned, Callahan said. Thies was put solely in charge of fundraising last spring because she is a “marketing goddess,” Callahan said. The sanctuary board attempted to hire a new executive director but couldn’t find a candidate who had the vision that Thies brought as founder of the Sandstone sanctuary, and reinstated her as executive director.“The donors love Tammy. To the world, the Wildcat Sanctuary is Tammy,” Callahan said. Plewacki said no written complaints were submitted to the board but that she took the verbal allegations seriously. The audit showed those allegations were unfounded, she said, stating her “complete belief and faith” in Thies’ leadership.“We never forget that the priority is the cats,” she said. Thies said representatives of three accredited sanctuaries came Monday to help with wildcats and offer their support. Because of state law, the Minnesota attorney general’s office couldn’t confirm or deny whether an investigation of the Wildcat Sanctuary was underway, said spokesman Ben Wogsland. Some people had indicated an interest in talking about the sanctuary but so far nobody had submitted a complaint, he said. No criminal charges have been filed in Pine County. The sanctuary had been substantially free of controversy since it relocated seven years ago to Pine County from Isanti County, after a dispute over a tiger. Thies has led efforts to ban private ownership of wildcats and to impress on the public the dangers associated with raising wild animals. Several attacks, at least one of them fatal, have occurred at private locations in Minnesota in recent years. - See more at: http://www.wildcatsanctuary.org/board-audit-shows-no-theft-at-wildcat-sanctuary-in-pine-county/#sthash.lVcSKS8E.dpuf
Yep, totally reminds me of the WAO case where allegations of theft were made, the board denied and made excuses in support of the director, and then trashed the person who complained to the authorities.... Sadly, without a complainant, no one from the MN OAG will look into alleged misappropriation of funds complaint.
Later:
At this point, I have no doubt there was some sort of misappropriation of funds going on at this sanctuary. Ms. Thies has always struck me as a Carol Asvestas-wanna-bee. It's starting to look like that is exactly what she is based on this latest newspaper article.Later:

Executive director of Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone is reinstated
Tammy Thies was reinstated to her post as executive director of the Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone this week, after several months on administrative leave pending an investigation of the Pine County facility’s finances.

Tammy Thies was reinstated to her post as executive director of the Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone this week, after several months on administrative leave pending an investigation of the Pine County facility’s finances.
Thies has been on leave since May, after staff members complained about how she was spending money. The board of directors hired a law firm to look into the allegations, and that firm determined that Thies had violated her fiduciary responsibilities, according to media reports. It said she had committed fraud and theft.
Board of Directors President Gail Plewacki said in a statement aired by KSTP-TV this week that a separate audit recently determined there has been no theft from the organization. And on Monday, all but one of the sanctuary’s employees were fired, the latest in an ongoing chain of developments, according to a former staffer and media reports.
Thies was reinstated in July and asked to run the development and fundraising for the sanctuary, according to the facility’s former communications manager.
The Wildcat Sanctuary is a nonprofit, no-kill rescue facility that provides sanctuary for wild cats that have been in captivity and can’t be released to the wild.
Thies issued a statement on the sanctuary’s website Tuesday, saying she is “committed to the original mission and vision” of the 15-year-old facility she founded.
“The animals are being cared for by some of the top sanctuary professionals in the U.S. We have the full support of the American Sanctuary Association and the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries,” Thies wrote.
“Please rest assured that our animals are being well cared for and that our organization is being managed by a truly dedicated board of directors and senior management.”
Last November, the refuge collected $88,629 from the annual Give to the Max Day, about 14 percent of the nearly $600,000 of what they raise in a year. According to Wildcat’s 2011 financial statement, it had $598,777 in revenue and $488,223 in expenses.
Repeated calls to the sanctuary and to Thies from the News Tribune seeking comment were not immediately returned.
Former Wildcat communications manager Holly Henry said the problems at the sanctuary are human ones and that the care of the cats has never been a question. She said Thies truly cares about the animals, and her staff did a “stellar” job.
Henry said board members resigned after the initial report came out. Henry left as well, saying the events that were transpiring went against the communications plan she was forming for the sanctuary that held “transparency” in all aspects of the operation as a hallmark.
“At no time have I ever doubted the care,” she said.

The following reminds me of what Carol Asvestas and Cindy Carrasco allegedly said about me regarding the WAO case! Ms. Tuller should pay more attention to her own sanctuary and refrain from making comments she will no doubt regret later.

Cheryl Tuller commented on a link.
Tammy Thies does not and never has taken money donated to The Wildcat Sanctuary. This is the result of a disgruntled employee who has been trying to take control of the sanctuary. The true facts will be told and the head keeper who did this will hopefully be taken to court for everything she's done.
Pine County wildcat refuge loses donor support
Several longtime donors who have invested thousands of dollars and hundreds of volunteer hours in Minnesota’s only certified refuge for large wildcats have withdrawn their support over suspicions of financial mismanagement.
By: Kevin Giles, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Several longtime donors who have invested thousands of dollars and hundreds of volunteer hours in Minnesota’s only certified refuge for large wildcats have withdrawn their support over suspicions of financial mismanagement.
Their distrust of money handling and staff relations at the Wildcat Sanctuary began with a Minneapolis law firm’s internal investigation this summer that raised serious questions about sanctuary accounting practices, including an alleged “commingling” of donor money with personal spending. Several departures from the board of directors, and the recent dismissal of employees and unpaid interns, fueled a wave of donor complaints.
“I’m absolutely outraged at what has taken place,” said Satia Pacotti of Burnsville, who has logged 300 hours of volunteer work this year and donated money, food and other supplies for wildcat care at the nonprofit sanctuary. “We want donors to know the truth.”
Sanctuary board President Gail Plewacki, in a statement, denied accusations that donor money had been stolen. The sanctuary, which houses about 100 wildcats including lions, tigers and cougars, “has understandably experienced growing pains” in the past few years and board members have adjusted policies and procedures accordingly, she said.
“This is just good business, not because anyone has been stealing from the organization,” Plewacki said.
An “independent investigation” concluded in September examined the sanctuary’s financial records and found nothing amiss, she said. That audit report is part of a personnel review and by law can’t be shared publicly, she said.
The Wildcat Sanctuary reported contributions and grants totaling $611,781, and expenses of $488,223, in its most recent tax-exempt filing with the Minnesota attorney general’s office in 2011.
At least 100 donors have said they’re withholding their money, said Bruce Olson of Minneapolis, who had invested 155 hours at the sanctuary since January and thousands of dollars in sponsorships over the years.
“I fought for quite a while not to believe these allegations,” he said.
Those donors want removal of the founder and executive director, Tammy Quist Thies, he said. They also want a full public accounting for all of the sanctuary’s assets and money, a new board of directors, and reinstatement of fired animal keepers, he said.
As many as 40 donors met recently to review a confidential report from the Dorsey and Whitney law firm that documented specific allegations of personal spending of donor money intended to feed the cats.
Olson, one of about 20 donors who drives a car wrapped with images of big wildcats to promote the sanctuary, said donors are “angry and I don’t see them giving any money. This is a tragedy in the works. We know it will never be the same once it washes out.”
Thies founded the Pine County sanctuary and is known in Minnesota and nationally for her efforts to end captive breeding of wildcats. She lobbied for a state law enacted in 2005 that prohibits buying and owning exotic cats in Minnesota. She didn’t respond to interview requests this week.
Plewacki, however, said Thies built the sanctuary into one of the most respected in the country and, because of her leadership, the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and the American Sanctuary Association have given their highest endorsements. One “big donor” to the sanctuary, Sue Schmitt, said Thursday that her faith in Thies has never wavered and she and her husband, Dan, will continue to pledge money despite the “rough patch” with other donors.
Plewacki said that the board retained Dorsey and Whitney last spring after receiving complaints from employees, but a second “special audit” commissioned by the new board and finished this fall determined “that the executive director had not been responsible for any misuse or theft of funds.”
Thies hasn’t been charged with a crime.
The current board reinstated Thies as executive director two weeks ago after several months in a fundraising role. Donors allege that she was removed from the top job because her money management and leadership skills came under hard criticism in the Dorsey and Whitney report. A former FBI agent was hired to interview employees, volunteers and interns, as well as review the sanctuary’s bank statements.
According to the law firm’s report, donor money was spent to pay for Thies’ husband’s skydiving lessons, for remodeling at her house, for personal meals and groceries, and for food for her personal pets. Thies used a sanctuary credit card to make purchases, including $1,192 in 2012 for food purchases for her personal dogs and cats, the investigation concluded.
“TWS could face a publicity crisis if the public and donors found out that donor funds have been used for Thies personal expenses instead of going to support TWS,” the report said.
Plewacki countered that the skydiving allegation resulted from a mix up with an online payment, and “a variety of small purchases” from stores “are likely for use in on-site housing for unpaid interns, the TWS office or other needs.” On any occasion when a TWS employee “accidentally” purchases a personal item with sanctuary funds, “cash payment is provided,” she said.
The Dorsey and Whitney report said Thies was asked to provide evidence of reimbursement, but she “failed to provide any documentation to rebut the allegations against her.”
State tax records show Thies was paid a salary of $37,973 in 2011.
Volunteer Myk Hamlin, a former auditor for Ford Motor Co., said many of his 460 volunteer hours were spent working in the sanctuary office, and he noticed finances in disarray. In one instance, he said, he found a $6,000 discrepancy on a deposit slip.
The current board isn’t allowing volunteers to enter the sanctuary because professionals who have traveled from Colorado and Florida “do not need any unknown presence” as they work around the clock to “ensure the best care for the cats,” Plewacki said.
But volunteer coordinator Amy Richman said everybody is “equally upset because of the disruption to the cats,” and donors and volunteers want a fuller explanation of why they’re barred from the grounds.
“I don’t understand why all the secrecy,” she said. “We want answers. People have given thousands of hours of time. The organization is not just Tammy. That sanctuary is the work of a lot of people and a lot of donors. I feel they should be open about this. It’s the public that’s paying for it.”
********************** End********************
All I can say is good luck to the donors in getting the board and owner/operator of the sanctuary removed. Speaking from experience, I doubt this will ever happen. These cats are Theis' "pets" and she will never give them up without a major fight. I'm sure she has big donors who would never believe the allegations made against Theis and therefore will keep the sanctuary afloat. And of course then there's the two sanctuaries that are keeping this place staffed (Colorado -- Wild Animal Sanctuary (??) and Florida - Big Cat Rescue (??)) until new staff is hired. I have no doubt both WAS and BCR knew about the illegal crap that went on at the WAO. I wonder if they are purposely enabling Tammy Theis too. Hopefully, the truth will come out some day.
Meanwhile, the Texas Office of the Secretary of State decided to involuntarily terminate the WAO's corporation status. I wonder what took them so long and how will this affect the WAO's bankruptcy case...

Now this is a scary web site post made by WCS..

Patty Finch, Executive Director of the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) states, “The support The Wildcat Sanctuary is receiving from other sanctuaries around country is a testimony to the high esteem in which both TWS and Tammy Thies are held. Big cat sanctuaries around the US have seen Tammy Thies give generously of her time to help cats in need, like those at the failed Wild Animal Orphanage, where she was one of two people chosen by the USDA to head up relocation efforts for 327 animals. Ms. Thies also serves as a volunteer site inspector for the American Sanctuary Association, highly valued for her fairness. Other directors and board leaders also have immense respect for Ms. Thies’ expertise, which she recently shared as a speaker at a national big cat conference, at the request and invitation of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and GFAS. One topic she addressed was fundraising, because IFAW and GFAS have always been impressed with the high ethical standards Ms. Thies has put into place in her campaigns. If a practice is common, legal, but of questionable ethics, Ms. Thies won’t do it. That’s why she was chosen as a speaker and mentor on the topic.”
A letter to the TWS board of directors in June states:
We have been notified of the general current happenings at the Wildcat Sanctuary, as required by our accreditation policies.
The Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries is an independent party, with loyalty only to the welfare of the overall organization and the animals.
In the nonprofit world, it is unfortunately fairly common for a staff member or members, or volunteers, to go to a Board with a serious grievance, demands for change, and ultimatums. It seems especially common in the sanctuary and pseudo-sanctuary world…
…GFAS is also aware of several animal sanctuaries in which the entire staff and /or volunteers had to be let go. In these cases, the Board realized that there were NOT huge problems at the sanctuary (such as cruelty to animals, fiscal mismanagement, years of negative Board reviews given to the ED, donors leaving in droves, accreditations, licenses or permits pulled, etc.) OTHER THAN those being caused or claimed by the staff. Often in such as case it is good to bring in an outside consultant to determine if a key employee or group of employees/volunteers is actually the problem. Sometimes a part of the problem is also lack of Board support for an ED to fire the problem employees, even though staffing decisions, with rare exceptions, should be the purview of the ED.
In the cases of entire staff dismissal, the transition to new employees was quick and smooth. Those three sanctuaries are flourishing…
…I have never met Tammy Thies, but she is well-respected in the field. Gail A’Brunzo, who makes the grant decisions for big cats for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, wrote to me when we were considering speakers for an upcoming workshop on big cats, stating: “We believe that Tammy Thies’ contribution to the sanctuary field is invaluable and the topics she could present will be of great benefit to other U.S. wildlife sanctuaries that care for big cats.” That is high praise from Gail, who has been working directly with big cat facilities more than twice as long as I have, and has had the opportunity to visit the “best of the best”.
I do know that when I’ve had the opportunity to work on rescues with Tammy Thies, via the phone, she has been professional and shown true leadership.
I urge you to put time and resources into the decision you are making. A sudden change in leadership and policies is almost certain to cause a loss of donors, and often the loss of foundation support…
Sincerely,
Patty Finch
ED, Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries
So typical of Patty Finch to side with the thieving sanctuary director and not the brave volunteers and staff that went to board to report the theft of large donations stolen by thieving Thies. This speaks volumes of Ms. Finch character. Sad. Very sad.
