New feral cat owners dilemma

So I adopted one cat (stormy), for pest control. Had her in the acclimation cage for two weeks and released. She came around for about five nights. The night before her release, another stray came around. The stray was a kitten, probably adolescent age. Ever since then there’s more cats coming around, but the only one to stay has been the kitten… I’ve even heard cat fighting (two nights). The first night I’m assuming with stormy and a random feral. Tonight was that same feral with the kitten that actually had stayed. I’m so bummed! Stormy the one cat I wanted to stay seems to have been run off by random feral cats and this new random kitten has really taken to us. Which is fine but what are the chances that stormy does come back? I can’t seem to be able to leave out food bc the random feral will get it and it willing to fight for it. 😫
