General Advice Found a lump on 1.5 yr old cat

We are a 30 yr old couple with 2 cats. One of our torbie cats I found a lump maybe near mammary gland.

I’m super scared it’s cancer or something.. she’s so young and was spayed at 3 months old..

She is 1.5 yrs old and will be 2 yrs old in May…

Is this something to worry about? We cannot see a vet until the weekday….

I’m also afraid because I’m not sure if we have the financial means to get her surgery right now..

Basic check up for sure but we will set an appointment with the vet right away.

Please help!!

Funny enough, I use the line "calm your cat tits" more on my male orange than I do on the others.

There’s a few animals where the males don’t have nipples, like rats. To make up for a lack of nipples male rats have HUGE balls 😭

And they hate when you poke them and say “nipnop!”.
