What an ordeal! I'm so sorry this is happening. Losing power is the disaster most likely to happen where I live. It is the main reason that I have sturdy carriers for all my cats. And a duffle bag packed with food, water, bowls, litter, and small litter pans - to last for several days. In winter here it can get well below zero and I have no heat other than the gas furnace that has to have electricity to run. It's scary. If power was off for a few hours in that weather, we'd all have to leave and seek heat.
As far as keeping the cats warm when the temperatures inside are in the 20's, both people and animals do fine in down comforters or sleeping bags. I've been camping in winter, outside in such temps, and was comfortable in a down sleeping bag. My cats will get under comforters or blankets if they get cold. Down parkas would also work for cats.
Good luck to all of you. I hope this passes soon.
