I would take the cat.
I would then auction it, at a starting price of half a million dollars. Accompanied by media folderol and blather, drum it up drum it good etc..
FOR THE CHILDREN. THIS CAT BECAUSE LIFE IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN MONEY BUT GIVE US THE MONEY TOO AND YOU GET THE CAT.
Pitched at corporations, also I would write super rich people like Oprah a personal letter about how it pained me to give up my cat, but I had already made a choice that the cat would live and now with her help the cat would live and so would the children. It would be a glorious mess of feel goodness.
