Outside cat had kittens, moving in 4 days

We have an outdoor cat who's been pregnant for a while. This is her 3rd litter and she's been huge. The kittens are either fat or there are quite a few of them.

Every time they've moved in the past few years they've caught her with a trap and just brought her with them to the new house and let her be outside there and she's never ran away from them. But she's never been pregnant while they moved or had kittens right before they moved.

We were hoping to catch her before she had the kittens and before we moved, but now she has definitely had some of her kittens if not all of them.

She's eating and acting fine, but we're scheduled to completely move in 4 days. She isn't letting us near her so catching her will prove to be even more difficult now than it has been.

My thought was maybe if we could catch her while she's eating or something that maybe we could put her on one of those harnesses and a leash and she would go to her kittens eventually and we could get them before we move. But I don't know how well that will work.

It also looks almost as if maybe she didn't have all of the kittens. I'm a vet assistant, so if I could get close enough to her, I could check if there's any kittens left. But, she isn't letting anyone near enough to her.

Any advice is welcome.

I'll also add that we have 12 inside cats. They've moved before a few years ago and all handle moving to a new place really well. But in the place we live now, they have an entire room just for them. The new house is smaller. Any tips on that would be appreciated too.
