familiar concentration feat?

Long-time viewer, first-time poster . . .

Am I imagining things or was there a feat that allowed a wizard to have his familiar maintain concentration on a spell while he did other things? If so, can someone please tell me where this feat was published?

If not, how crazy of an idea is this? Is it too powerful or easily abused? Would it need some hefty prerequisites? Part of me thinks it is too powerful, but another part of me thinks familiars need some help to become a more viable addition to a wizard's skills.

Thanks for any assistance.

Not sure about for Familiars... but there is a Psi power that does very similar for a Psion or Wilder's Psicrystal:

Solicit Psicrystal

Telepathy
Level: Psion/wilder 3
Display: Auditory
Manifesting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: Your psicrystal
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: No
Power Resistance: No
Power Points: 5
Your psicrystal takes over the responsibility of maintaining concentration on any single power you have manifested and are concentrating on. While maintaining this concentration, the psicrystal is limited to move actions in each round, as normal. When the duration of solicit psicrystal expires, the power you transferred to the psicrystal ends (even if this would mean that the power ends earlier than normal). If necessary, the psicrystal makes file:///D:/local web/SRD/srd.pbemnexus.com/psionicSkills.html#concentrationConcentration checks using your Concentration modifier.

You can manifest this power (and transfer the responsibility) with an instant thought, quickly enough to gain the benefit of the power before you take any other actions in a round. Manifesting the power is a swift action, like manifesting a quickened power, and it counts toward the normal limit of one quickened power per round. You cannot manifest this power when it isn’t your turn.

Augment: For every additional power point you spend, this power’s maximum duration increases by 1 round.

... so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to research a spell which does the same for a familiar with spells.

There is a feat that lets you maintain concentration on a spell for a move or free action, depending on how high a concentration check you can make.

Yepp, and it's called:
