Official schedule: 9–11 October 2026. Dates are from the organiser's announcement. We cannot confirm that the event is running on any particular day.

Ekspo Kucing 2026 (Asia Cat Expo) is back at MITEC in Kuala Lumpur for its 9th edition, 9–11 October 2026, 10:00–21:00 each day (the organisers' fact sheet). On their event page the organisers, Murni Ekspo Sdn Bhd, call it Malaysia's largest annual feline exhibition, and say the focus is cat competitions, adoption drives and educational sharing. All three days run to 21:00, so you can still get there after work.

At a glance

  • Hours: Friday 9 to Sunday 11 October 2026, 10:00–21:00 every day. The organisers' fact sheet
  • Admission: as of 8 October 2026 the organisers have not published a ticket price, and have not said whether you need to register first. Bring both cash and a card, just in case. Event page
  • Where: MITEC, Kompleks MITEC No.8, Jalan Dutamas 2, 50480 Kuala Lumpur
  • Who it's for: anyone who already has a cat, or is thinking of getting one. The organisers' fact sheet lists the exhibitor categories. The ones you can browse are pet food and treats, care and grooming, accessories and toys, furniture and equipment, veterinary and medical, pet shops and retailers, online pet shops and breeders. Four others — suppliers and brand owners, distributors and wholesalers, OEM manufacturers, and importers and exporters — are trade stands, there for the industry rather than for shoppers. Whether you can bring your own cat is not stated on any official page
  • Size: as of 8 October 2026, no booth or brand count for this edition has been published. For 2025 attendance the organisers themselves give three different figures: 25,971 in the text of their event page, 25,000 in the statistics block on that same page, and 23,000 on their fact sheet. Event page, the organisers' fact sheet
  • Getting there: take the 821 or 851 bus and get off at the KL 1022 MATRADE South bus station, a 4-minute walk from MITEC. On the MRT, get off at Semantan and take a taxi or e-hailing from there — the venue puts it at about a 10-minute drive, too far to walk. On the KTM, get off at Segambut and do the same. E-hailing drops off at the MITEC South Entrance. Venue FAQ
  • Parking: basement car parks 1 and 1A are RM10 for the first hour, RM5 an hour after that and a maximum of RM15 a day, and motorcycle parking is free; the MATRADE outdoor car park is RM 7 to RM14 per entry. The venue says parking on site is cashless and the rates include SST. Paying by Visa, Mastercard or debit card adds a 10% service provider fee. Venue FAQ

Before you go

  • Working out what the trip will cost? Check the event page for a ticket price before you set off — there was none as of 8 October 2026 — and if you're driving, add the basement car park's maximum of RM15 a day, plus the 10% if you pay by card
  • Going for the cat competitions, the adoption drive or a talk? No start times have been published, so check the organisers' event page first — and there is nothing official on bringing your own cat either
  • Using a wheelchair or pushing a pram? The venue's FAQ says there is step-free access from the South Entrance drop-off point, wheelchairs on hand, and lifts and ramps throughout the building
