I have a totally feral cat living in my guest bedroom. She’s a beautiful Siamese. As she’s had no prior contact with humans, she won’t let me get near her

I talked to a TNR person about her. I was concerned the cat was miserable. She assured me that if she has a warm, safe place, clean litter, fresh water and food, she would be perfectly content. I go in her room three or four times a day. Some day she might let me touch her.

Taking the cats with you is an excellent decision. They will be fine.

I enclosed one of my porches as a catio. Cats love it, and I don’t worry about them.

Good luck!
