Get a trap. Put food in the back of the cage and when the cat steps on the pressure plate, the door closes. You just need to keep an eye on the trap when you put it out because feral cats can harm themselves trying to get out of the cage. And your state may have a low cost spay and neutering program that are designed to reduce the feral cat population, so you may want to look into that if you want a cheaper option than most ordinary vets.

This. They'll likely also get vaccinations and the like.

Also, don't try to coax a potentially feral cat into your home. A cat who reached adulthood without socialization is going to rely heavily on instincts, even if they have become attached to you. If anything goes wrong, they can do substantial damage to you and your home, as well as themselves.

Trap, neuter, release is the way to go, and if you want them to be something of a pet or protect them from the elements, set up a little house for them outside.
