I worked in the veterinary field for a while as well, and to be honest, having the cat on 100% wet or raw food was by far the most important thing, regardless of quality. By all means, do what you can afford to, but we saw plenty of cats who came in after switching to Fancy Feast Classics 100% canned, and all urinary/bladder issues disappeared. Granted, this will depend on how long the cat was on dry food/if any long-term damage occurred, but if caught early on at least, this seemed to be the case.
I of course understand if you don't care for Purina either though. Another option you can try is checking in with your local butcher(s) to see if they offer whole ground meat suitable for pets. Our butcher does for .12 an oz. You can make it simple and nutritionally complete with a mix similar to this one though there are a few different brands to look into that might cost less. Commercial raw overall though is VERY expensive and sadly out of my own price range. You could also do a daily raw meal along with commercial grain-free wet (Sheba and FF Classics are grain-free and low carb) to help balance things out.
Grandma Lucy's and Honest Kitchen offer dehydrated foods for cats as well that you add water to that make a complete diet; they are sort of a good compromise between commercial and raw. Even if you do it for one meal a day (my own cat eats different flavors at each meal, fussy guy).
Hope this helps! Good luck to you!
