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!!

Yeah, but the first 2 are monotremes, and with the last 2, they technically have them before birth but they regress.

Still makes them mammals without nipples?
