There is another route to go -- the vet on wheels. I'm sure someone will do a post on this. I do know there is a female vet who makes house calls.

As to having a vet close, personally, I'd rather go with good and be willing to drive the distance. It is very rare that a pet needs immediate attention and a 10-minute drive rarely makes a difference. And, if your cat is anything like mine, they never have emergency issues during office hours, so you have to drive to the emergency clinic, which is even further away.
