You still have time. The best thing to do if you know there won't be anyone to provide food for them once you leave would be to gradually stop providing it. Start putting it out like 6 days a week and leave the feeder empty one day. Then in a month or so leave it empty two days and so on until you are down to just giving them treats. Then they will be fine once you leave. As you provide less they will start looking for their own food. They will be just fine, don't worry, you have plenty of time.
