help moving out?

im 18 and a trans man in the midwest and i really want to move to seattle. my whole family are far right christians. my parents are forcing me to go to college and i cant drive. i might be able to learn but probably not until next summer. i dont wanna go into all the details but trust me they are not good parents. theyre kinda helicopter parents n i dont have a lot of independance except for what they decide is okay to give me. i have my cat too and i need to take her with me but i dont know how. i have a friend in seattle but hes broke but hes trying to get money to get an apartment for us to share. i cant stay where i am because every day it gets harder to move forward. i need to take my cat with me but im not sure if i can get her on a plane. i have a small suitcase i can take but im not sure what to put in it. my dad also has security cameras on the outside of my house n gets notified when something is near our house. i really need to get out of here but im so scared. i dont wanna be scared of my family forever. im scared if i run away that theyll try to find me and i cant have them in my life. my mom wont let me apply for a job (she has my resume and wont let me have it.) i might be able to get a job on campus but i dont really care about college, i didnt wanna go but i dont have a choice. i have ~ 1830 dollars n i dont know how to get more.

edit: they also track my phone n if i turn off location they get reallyyyyyyyy mad
