Cat keeps hanging around my garden: should I feed her ?

I'm not sure how relevant this is but my sister's cat went missing 2 years ago and we don't know what happened to him despite being microchips.
If my sister's cat found a new home then am I doing the same to this cat by feeding her ?

Pronouns: he/him/they/them
Not if the microchip has been updated recently to show whose it is. I mean it's worth checking even if the cat found a new home. At least someone who owned the cat could care for them. And if they don't have a microchip or you scared it might not have been updated recently you can put posters around town saying you found a cat.
Yes...poor cat
Get a trap from your local humane society or animal rescue group. Trap her and have her spayed by one of these groups (free). Release her where you found her.
At least you won't have a dozen cats hanging out in your garden a year from now.
Cats, owned or unowned, have their territories. If they have owners and a reliable source of food and shelter, they're not going anywhere. Neighbors' houses with alternative food sources are just icing on the territory.
Just consider here local wildlife, Like a squirrel or Bluejay.

Feed the cat, take it to the vets to check if it's chipped. If so contact the owner, if not you won a cat.
I'd feed her. Even if she has a home, she'll likely go back. We've had neighbors feed our cat, and he still comes home. He just considers those folks his friends.
I think they taste just like rabbit.
Feed the cat, befriend it, then you can take it in to the humane society. Cats shouldn't be outdoor or indoor/outdoor, due to the massive damage they do to the bird ecosystem.
Outdoor cats like to go from one feeding place to another. If she has another home, she will likely go back there as well as visiting you.
And yes, take her into a vet and see if she has a microchip. At least then you will know who else is feeding her.

Unlikely. Unless you take her inside and keep her inside, she will probably roam to her other owner's place.
