I agree, just make sure the kitty has food, water and a cat box available within a close vicinity to where he is hiding and let him come out on his own time. If you crate your dogs at night or when you are gone, this will also give him more time to roam without fear. Mine have moved half a dozen times over the last 10 years and it always takes them a couple days to adjust. Cats are so different than dogs really. They just don't adapt as well. I was thinking that today when I took them to the vet and one was drooling like crazy b/c she was so stressed. Even my high strung dog doesn't do that.
ETA: It has only been a day but you might also try a toy like a feather on a string or something like that. Close the door so the dogs don't interfere at first until kitty gains some confidence. That might entice it to come out faster or at least long enough for some bonding.
