Transporting cats by car
If the move isn't for a while, I'd put the cats into their carriers and take them for a few errands to get them used to the car. Feed them lots of treats immediatley after to make it a positive experience. If they like catnip, spray the inside of their carriers with catnip.
If they can fly, you might want to check Pet Airways, which is not inexpensive. Continental usually treats its feline cargo quite well. Just be mindful that many airlines will not take pets at certain times of the year due to implied delays and pets having to sit, say on the tarmac. If you want a quick read on which airlines are the best for feline cargo, I'd call a few breeders and ask them which airline(s) they use.
Otherwise, depending on the the time of year, you may be able to entice a college or graduate student driving home for the summer (less rowdyness than spring break) to drive the cats to The Villages.
Bon chance.
