Hello, my name is Erdem (Adam), and I will be your guide for the cat tours. Since 2015, I have been working as a guide here in Kusadasi. In 2018, I encountered Garfield near the theatre. He came up to me, and we quickly became friends. I named him Garfield, and since then, we have shared a special connection.

Three years ago, I started the Instagram page garfield_of_ephesus. The aim of this page is to raise awareness and make a positive impact for the stray cats in Ephesus. From this initiative, the cat tour was born.

Twenty percent of the tour income is allocated for food for cats and dogs. Additionally, I provide some cat food for my guests, so they can share it with the stray cats and enjoy this experience together.

Over the years, I have named several cats around Ephesus, including Fluffy, Ginger, Mr. Mustache, Sylvester, Olive, and Mr. Crippled.
