Unfortunately anemia related to lymphoma is usually not due to iron deficiency so eating iron rich foods may not make much difference. As long as your cat does not have any food sensitivities I do think it would be okay to feed him small amounts of cooked chicken liver. It can be rich, so if you notice any vomiting or diarrhea I would discontinue.
