I'd go with B, offer her work. Will allow her to keep her dignity. She's probably not stupid, she likely knows you're better off than her. Couching it in terms of work for pay allows everything to be normal and on the up-and-up.
Sorry you're being down voted. It's a legit option. The reason I do think it's a less appropriate option is because we've already been doing things for each other for free (watering plants and stuff) so "hiring" her would make that relationship transactional all of a sudden.
No worries, I wasn't expecting that to be overly popular. I was thinking it would be a better way to help out in the long term though, instead of this just being about one pet.
