Cat Expo India — pop culture fair

Feline Club of India is staging Cat Expo India in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, May 17, according to the organizer’s event page and ticketing listings. The one-day event is billed as a championship cat show and public expo at the CIDCO Exhibition & Convention Centre in Vashi. Listings describe a program built around pedigree cats, adoption, brand stalls and family activities. Free Press Journal included the expo in its May 15 roundup of weekend events in Mumbai. District’s ticketing page lists the start time at 10:00 a.m., while the Feline Club of India page says “11 AM onwards” and separately says visitors can enter between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. That leaves the public-facing schedule inconsistent across pages tied to the event. Both sources, however, identify the same venue in Navi Mumbai and the same event date. (felineclub.in) ### Where is the event happening, and is it in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai? CIDCO Exhibition & Convention Centre in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, is the venue named on both the organizer’s page and the ticketing page. Free Press Journal grouped the event under a Mumbai weekend guide, but its listing also names the CIDCO Exhibition & Convention Centre as the location. (district.in) May 17, 2026, is the only date shown in the pages reviewed. The available listings do not show a separate Saturday program, despite some roundup language framing it as part of the city’s “weekend” slate. Based on the event pages available online, the verified public listing is for Sunday only. (felineclub.in) ### What is Cat Expo India saying visitors will see inside? District says the event will feature more than 1,000 championship cats, 16-plus rare and popular breeds, and international judges. The same listing describes a Cat Agility Zone, Cat Adoption Zone, nutrition and weight-check areas, grooming talks, gift hampers and activities for children. (district.in) Feline Club of India says the show will include a pet adoption drive, vet and nutrition zones, a pet fashion show, sponsors and brand stalls. The organizer’s page says the event is open to people who do not own pets and that cameras are allowed. ### How much do tickets cost, and who needs one? Feline Club of India advertises an entry price of 199 Indian rupees on its event page, presented as a discounted rate from 400 rupees, with bundle offers for three and five tickets. (district.in) The same page says one ticket is required per person and that no cancellations or refunds are entertained. (felineclub.in) District’s page says tickets are needed for ages 14 and above, while entry is allowed for ages 2 and above. It also describes the setup as indoor, with seated and standing arrangements, and says the event will be conducted in English, Hindi and Marathi. ### Is this a trade fair, a cat competition, or a family outing? (felineclub.in) The public listings present it as all three. District calls it the “Championship Cat Show 2026 - Mumbai” and an “immersive feline festival,” combining competition cats with adoption and brand experiences. Free Press Journal described it for readers as a family-friendly stop in the city’s weekend calendar. (district.in) More than 200 pet brands are cited on the District page, while the Feline Club of India page mentions 120-plus brands and 12 sponsors. Those figures differ, but both pages point to a commercial component alongside the cat show itself. ### What should a visitor verify before going? The start time is the main detail that still needs checking. (district.in) District lists 10:00 a.m.; Free Press Journal says “10 AM onwards”; and the Feline Club of India page uses both “11 AM onwards” and a broader 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. visitor window. Sunday, May 17, remains the confirmed event date across the sources reviewed, and CIDCO Exhibition & Convention Centre in Vashi remains the confirmed venue. (district.in) Ticket purchases and the latest visitor instructions are posted on the Feline Club of India page and the District listing for the show. (felineclub.in)
