A possible Plan B for you, in case you can't get the cats to Steve next weekend. We are in the process of trying to organize a marathon transport from FL to NJ. (See "marathon florida to phila pa or atlantic city nj".) Right now, it is scheduled to happen on 3/7. There will be handoffs at Lumberton, NC and Chesapeake, VA. (I am scheduled to fly the Chesapeake, VA to PA/NJ leg.) So, if you can get the cats to either of these places, perhaps the cats can hitch a ride on this transport.
There is one catch. I can get them as far north as Caldwell, NJ (KCDW). But you will have to find someone (perhaps one of the NY/NJ based pilots) to take them the rest of the way. And given the timing of the FL-NJ transport, the cats will arrive in NJ in the evening (probably 8 or 9 pm), so you will have to find a temporary foster in NJ overnight (or longer depending on pilot availability or weather).
Anyway, thought I would offer possible options.
