I have different vets for different reasons. (1) One is a great surgeon who does thorough research and has a wonderful demeanor. He's also 10 minutes from my house, part of an AAHA certified veterinary hospital with evening and weekend hours. However, he's too expensive for routine matters. (2) Foster kittens go to a low cost spay/neuter clinic en masse, even though it's an hour's drive each way. (3) I am considering taking a foster cat with chronic skin allergies to my old vet 45 miles away because, for 9 years, he treated one of my own cats -- Shanghai -- for a similar skin condition until Shanghai passed away at age 18. (4) And I often take ferals or strays to one of the feral spay/neuter clinics where I volunteer.
Have as many vets as make sense for you. Different vets have different strengths.

I do --- I had a vet who I was seeing exclusively for the past 10 years
and she moved and couldn't see her anymore and it was devastating..
because I had to start all over to find someone whom I can trust and
start building relationship and took for a while.. so it's smart to have
more than one for your and your kitty's benefit..

Go wherever you want, whenever you want. You are the
client and the one paying the bill; it's your choice.
