Check with the city animal control you live in, quite a few will come out and place live traps and remove stray cats for free, others will let you pick the traps up for a deposit and bring them back with the cat in them.
I only caught possums with tuna fish in a live trap. I think they were too well fed by a neighbor. I have a 220 trap I am going to set up in a bucket for raccoons. May get a cat as bycatch.
I use wet or dry pet food, but usually fish/seafood based, and either a havahart or one of the live traps from Harbor Freight since they are less expensive. One thing---put some bait on the trigger pan inside the trap but dig a hole big enough to hold the can and put the can in the hole then set the trap on top of it with the trigger pan over the can. Keeps 'em from eating the bait and not tripping the trap. The 220 works too--
