I don't know anything about the masses (sorry), but just wanted to say how lucky it was that this poor little soul found you! I figured you were talking about a younger cat, am surprised that she's as old as she is. I wonder what her previous life was like?
You're a wonderful angel to have taken her in!!

Well, I talked to Dr. Utt yesterday. The needle biopsy was non- diagnostic.So . . . . . . I am still not sure what my next step should be. I don't have a problem with paying for the surgery, but if the masses are just going to regenerate which is a possibility then I can't see putting her through the surgery. KWIM? Also my three other furbabies are rough and tumble kitties, my husband will probably move out if I bring another cat inside (kinda of joking). I know Noni (the new kitty's name means gift from God) will need to be kept inside for several days if I have the procedure done. I am at a loss
So even though she is eating right now and is seemingly happy I am concerned about leaving undiagnosed growths inside her.
Anyone have any advice?

My advice is to have those removed and see what they are..... Then, go from there. Those things could be something simple that is interferring with her eating or absorbtion of food..... could be something crtitcal but I would have to know, just for my own peace of mind.

I agree, have them removed. Maybe you can convince your husband to seclude her in a bath or extra bedroom just until she heals?
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

I went to see Noni this afternoon, and boy was she happy to see me! After talking at length with of the vet techs I agreed to have the masses removed Monday. Noni is also running a low grade fever I was told her body is probably trying to fight whatever is growing inside her
On Monday if there are more growths inside, Dr. will likely not wake her, but I am hoping for the best. Her big loving trusting eyes just melt my heart, I hope we can bring her home!
On a side note I realized a disagrrement with my husband will definatley be worth it if I can help save Noni's life. Thank you for all of your helpful advice, and healing thoughts. I will be in touch with the vet's office daily, and post updates as I get info

All of us here will be praying for Noni and you! Bless you for taking this girl in, you're the best thing to happen to her in a long time.
