How to get rid of a stray cat safely and for good without calling animal control?

It’s been coming by my door for the past two nights. It wouldn’t be so bad except it’s meowing constantly and driving me crazy. I haven’t let it inside or touched it.
I assume it’s either abandoned or its owner is gone somewhere and didn’t realize it escaped. It has a collar so I guess it used to be someone’s pet.

I don’t really want to call animal control. I know you’re not supposed to feed strays either, because they could possibly stick around even longer, knowing there’s a food source.
I tried making a loud noise and shooing it away with a broom, didn’t faze the cat at all.
Are there other ways to get rid of a stray cat safely and for good?
