I worked on many different versions of this feat, till it occurred to me that adapting Monster Cohort could be the most balanced way to do it. An animal companion is worth more than a familiar, so if you can give a cohort the abilities of a companion, why couldn’t you do the same with familiar abilities?

Familiar Cohort
Your familiar is also your most trusted adventuring ally.
Prerequisites: Knowledge (arcana, nature, or religion) 7 ranks, Improved Familiar, effective wizard level 7, ability to acquire a new familiar.
Benefit: You gain a special cohort instead of a new familiar. This must be a monster with an indicated cohort level and able to become a familiar, such as a cassisian or a pseudodragon. If the creature’s effective cohort level is lower than what is allowed by your effective wizard level, the cohort gains class levels equal to the difference. The cohort gains familiar abilities listed in the “Special” column as if it was an improved familiar with an equivalent level equal to its class level.
Special: This feat counts as the Leadership feat for the purposes of prerequisites. A character cannot have both Leadership and Familiar Cohort.
