That's a great idea! Your local high school FFA might be able to provide you with someone who could watch them as well. That usually works out well because you can get a reference from the teacher.
Do you have any friends you could ask? I've had people care for baby chicks for me by taking my whole set up (which consists of a heat lamp and a rubbermaid box) to their house. The cat I would just set out really big bowls of food and water and an extra litter box or two.
