How to feed a food-insecure cat without affecting my picky cat?

Question

I have taken in a stray in the last year and he has some pretty bad food insecurity. I know I should limit his daily intake but we also have a ten year old cat who will refuse to eat if food is not always avalible, she will only eat small bits at a time and is healthy but quite small. I think the stray will just keep eating until he gets sick though at this rate, do you have any suggestions that wont interfere with the older cat.

Unfortunately the best option would be to either separate the cats so that the food can be somewhere where one cat can get to it but the other can't, or to utilize a timed feeder so that small amounts of food can be given out at a time, allowing both cats to eat without overindulging. Once your new cat is a little more calm and comfortable, he may gradually start to limit his intake as well.
