A first level human blood rager with the aberrant bloodline can have all of these at the same time from level 1:
Wasp Familiar:
You gain a familiar as per the arcane bond class feature, using your character level as your wizard level. The familiar is a cat-sized, chaotic neutral wasp loyal to you. Use the statistics for a greensting scorpion familiar (Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Magic 188), but give it a base speed of 10 feet, a fly speed of 40 feet (average), no Climb bonus, and Fly +7. If you have the ability to gain a familiar through other means (such as the arcane bond class feature), and you are at least 5th level, instead use the statistics for an imp, but replace the invisibility spell-like ability with an unnatural lustUM (DC 14) spell-like ability usable three times per day. You can have only one familiar.
Aberrant Tumor:
The alchemist creates a Diminutive or Tiny tumor on his body, usually on his back or stomach. As a standard action, the alchemist can have the tumor detach itself from his body as a separate creature vaguely resembling a kind of animal suitable for a familiar (bat, cat, and so on) and move about as if it were an independent creature. The tumor can reattach itself to the alchemist as a standard action. The tumor has all the abilities of the animal it resembles (for example, a batlike tumor can fly) and familiar abilities based on the alchemist’s caster level (though some familiar abilities may be useless to an alchemist). The tumor acts as the alchemist’s familiar whether attached or separated (providing a skill bonus, the Alertness feat, and so on). When attached to the alchemist, the tumor has fast healing 5. An alchemist’s extracts and mutagens are considered spells for the purposes of familiar abilities like share spells and deliver touch spells. If a tumor familiar is lost or dies, it can be replaced 1 week later through a specialized procedure that costs 200 gp per alchemist level. The ritual takes 8 hours to complete.
Bloodline Familiar
At 1st level, a sorcerer, bloodrager, or any other character with one of the following bloodlines can choose to gain a bloodline familiar. The character gains a familiar (as a wizard’s familiar), treating her class level as her wizard level for the purposes of this ability. This familiar has an additional ability listed below based on the master’s bloodline.
Aberrant—Squeezer (Ex): The familiar gains the compression ability, allowing it to move through an area as small as one-quarter its space without squeezing or one-eighth its space when squeezing.
Nope, you can only have one familiar from the wasp description. You basically just lose the other two.

What would be your opinion, if we left out the wasp familiar? Would you have 2, or would you have one familiar with both sets of abilities. What about level?

Here's another interesting thing. Wasp familiar limits you to one familiar, but doesn't specify that "the one" has to be the wasp. I could choose the tumor as my "one". But this other bit from the feat would still apply:
If you have the ability to gain a familiar through other means (such as the arcane bond class feature), and you are at least 5th level, instead use the statistics for an imp, but replace the invisibility spell-like ability with an unnatural lustUM (DC 14) spell-like ability usable three times per day.
That line also doesn't specify that it has to be used on the wasp familiar. Which would turn this feat into an improved version of improved familiar.
I'd probably allow some overlap of abilities (right now I'm playing a gestalt ranger/wizard who has a shadow wolf as his companion/familiar) instead of multiple familiars, but that's probably getting into houserule territory.
I would refluf it as the guy in Naruto who had a nest of wasps in his body. The character took the swarm as a familiar. The infestation was like a tumor. Various feats could be introduced for sending a single wasp as a spy, or splitting the swarm currently deployed in 2, ect.
I'm saying you might not be able to get what you want without going homebrew.

Except.... It doesn't work that way (this is the wrong forum for suggestions on how you could run it when the rules don't allow for it). A "refluff" means changing flavor without touching mechanics, and your suggestion is basically houseruling the mechanics and allowing something that does not work, to work.
