Description
I participate in a network of street cat feeders & caretakers that attempt to get the cats of the streets and neutered, temporarily housed and/or adopted. There is currently (1) full time young overly affectionate cat (recently rescued) at this address and a community cat that stops by and eats/sleeps several times a week. The young cat is full of energy and wants affection & playtime when ever it can get it. The older community cat just wants to rest/sleep for the day before going out at night to defend its territory.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Los Angeles is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, with over 140 nationalities and 224 languages spoken. There are events going on almost every week/weekend somewhere in Los Angeles. Search for event calendars to find what interests you.
I would personally suggest you Venice Beach at least once. It features street performers, artists, and a boardwalk constantly in motion. It's also famous for attractions like Muscle Beach and its blend of fitness, art, and bohemian lifestyle.
Help
I travel for work so looking for an individual or couple that want to visit LA and stay in a 1-bedroom unit at no cost but in return will be responsible for feeding the cats. The indoor & indoor/outdoor cat take about 5-10 mins in the morning and dinner time to feed and clean/fill the water dish. The litter box needs to be scooped every day or two. The indoor cats appreciate any time you can give them for affection and/or play and both of them usually sleep from about 11am to 6pm. It will take about 20-minutes to prep & place food at the feed locations for the street cats. They hide for safety during daytime so they get food placed twice, once 30-minutes after sunset (dusk) and second time about 4-hours after that. Food drop time doesn't have to be precise but regularity helps.
Instructions, pics, and a map for food drops on the street will be provided.

Accommodation
This is a 1-Bedroom unit in the Mid-City neighborhood of Los Angeles. It's about 500sq-ft in a 7-unit building. This building and the units are described as the Ding Bat style. The unit is simple and functional, nothing fancy, but usable. The bedroom has a full size bed so appropriate for one person or a couple on one side of the room and a home office setup on the other side of the room. The bedroom has air conditioning but the living room is setup with window fans only.
This is a Blue Collar residential area within a 5-10 minute walk of just about every type of restaurant, store, and service you need including major Metro (Public Transportation) stops. It's within an 8 mile radius of LAX, the West Side beaches (Santa Monica, Venice, Marina Del Rey), Hollywood, and DTLA (Down Town Los Angeles).
What else ...
Los Angeles has a reasonable Public Transportation system and you can reach almost all areas. It's also known for its bad drivers, traffic jams and no parking so renting a car is optional unless you want to visit areas not covered by public transportation. This is a link to the Los Angeles Metro Public Transportation website...
I can supply detailed instructions if you want to take Public Transportation to/from LAX.
WAYMO driverless vehicles cover many area of Los Angeles, but not all, and if you've never ridden in a driverless vehicle you should give it a try. WAYMO does not currently have authorization to Dropoff or Pickup at LAX so can't be used for that.
This is a link to the LAX Official website...
All authorized ride-sharing pick ups occur at the LAX-it Lot located east of Terminal 1. Passengers must either walk or take a shuttle to this designated area after arriving at the airport .
Only the Ride Sharing companies Uber, Lyft, and Opoli can drop off riders directly at the terminal curbside when flying out of LAX.
