My cat can't pee, vet says it's serious. Can she wait until morning?

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 7 lbs

Hi I asked a question a couple mins ago on here. My female cat is having problems peeing. She can’t go and keeps trying. She doesn’t seem to be in any serious pain even when we check to see if she’s bloated. The vet told me to go in immediately and that it was very serious. We have no 24/7 clinics where we live. It is currently 11:30 here. Will she be ok until 830 am when her vet opens? There are others that open at 730 however the 830 one is her normal vet. What one do I go to?

If there is no ER vet, there should be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. I'd call local clinics to find a vet on call. If you absolutely cannot find a vet, take her into the one that opens at 7:30.
