What's going on with my cat's ears?

I'll start by saying I Am taking her to the vet, I just don't know if I should go to an emergency vet now or if she can wait till Tuesday.

I noticed today that my 10 month old kitten had a small sore in her ear. I thought she had gotten scratched by one of the others, but I looked in her other ear and she has the exact same sore in the same place.

She does not have the "coffee grounds" that accompany ear mites, she has not been scratching at them or shaking her head.

So does anyone know what this Could be so I can decide how fast I need to get her to a vet?

    She doesn't need to go to the emergency vet for little sores in her ears. Its possible that she has just a light case of ear mites, not enough to cause the discharge, or something else may be making her ears itch. I would wait and take her next week. She should be fine to wait.

    You can ask the vet when you call. Describe what's going on and they will tell you if you should come in sooner rather than later.

    Edit: Sorry, just remembered it's the long weekend. Unless she looks in pain I would think it's ok to wait till Tuesday.
