i've been looking but can't find anything, does anyone know of a small race that has an option to grab a bonus feat like a human?
nope, I don't think there's any race that gets a bonus feat like a human.
In 3.5 there was the Strongheart Halfling. It traded the +1 saving throws for a bonus feat. But there's nothing in Pathfinder.
...Unless you use Race Point rules, in which case you can make it without any difficulty.
