Will try and trap one tomorrow night and the orange guy tomorrow or Thursday morning. I feel kind of bad now about the whole thing even though it needs done, but it's awful to think of them in the cages and having NO idea what's happening...

I hope they don't remember that the only person they trust did it to them. Or they don't hold a grudge, anyway.

If I trap one the night before the surgery (or both) is it better to leave them in the cages outside with towels over them? Will they be safe from the other cats, foxes, dogs, etc? Or should I put them in the garage or something?
They should be okay overnight, but I would line the trap with newspaper and place it on additional newspaper on the assumption that he will pee at some point. I'd bring them into your garage if it's not too hot. None of our strays are holding a grudge. If anything, they've gotten friendlier. They'll be fine.
