Thanks for the people who responded to my thread. I asked our vet already and he suggested the same boarding places that I checked already.

Anyway, I begged my dad and my sister to lend me their garage(converted to a room) for a month. It's just gonna be a 6 hr trip to Northern Cali but it seems to be the best option for now. I'll be home by thanksgiving so me and hubby are gonna clean up the garage and install a screen door so the air can come in. That way, the room should be ready by December when we bring in the gang. I feel bad that they are just gonna be in one room for a month but my sister has 4 indoor/outdoor kitties already and I couldn't risk any of my cats getting out.

I guess I have to find a good sitter in the future, months before I go on vacation. This one wasn't really planned that's why I wasn't able to cover all my bases. Anyway, thanks for all your help everyone!
