I'm so sorry. Jason was a true fighter, but he seemed to have so many health issues going on. He was such a pretty cat and was loved very much.

I am so deeply sorry for you and your cousin’s loss. Please know that you gave him everything you could. He was loved in this world and that is so much more than many get. Jason was a beautiful boy. My heart is with you.

After finally being able to talk to Jason's mom, I have something heartbreaking but bittersweet to share with you.
Jason died because his heart stopped twice and that's all I knew, no further details.
But knowing the whole story brought tears to my eyes. Jason was supposed to die the day he was taken to the hospital, he had already chosen a place. But he kept fighting. He fought to the last minute to make sure he saw everyone before he died.
My cousin broke up with her boyfriend, they started a relationship soon after Jason was adopted. They broke up about a month ago. Her ex boyfriend loved Jason, and Jason loved him back. Even though her ex is still suffering from the breakup, he set his heart aside and visited Jason 5 or 6 times during his final week. My mom (who is not that into cats) CRIED for Jason because she, who had made mistakes in the past, was forgiven and then she was invited to have lunch at my family's place to meet the young kitten. And he loved her so much, he massaged her liver when her health was bad, and she wouldn't pay much attention to him but he was persistent. And funny, oh lord he was such a clown. He waited for her visit as well, to say goodbye. My uncle and my aunt (they're my godparents) aren't even friends. Their relationship and love died a long time ago and they can't stand each other. But guess who also brought them together... Their son who is my oldest cousin, used to live at his parents as well but he moved on with his life, went to live with his beautiful woman and 3 weeks ago they had a healthy baby named Andre. He waited for them as well.
I've been sick since my middle teens with lupus, struggled a lot but I'm finally in remission, and I got into college and started a new relationship. When I was sick Jason would cover me with his blanket and watch me sleep. He waited for my success. My cousin got into college at 29 years old and it was a victory for her, and took her a lot of effort. Her first class was when Jason passed...
After a week at the vet hospital, Jason had all his visits and knew everyone had reached their personal milestones. He waited for everyone to say goodbye.
Here comes the bitter part so grab your tissues...
On his last day I went to visit him at 3h30pm and everyone was late so I was his first visit. We had gotten good news earlier on the phone about his glucose levels stabilising and his bilirubin going down, but he was tired... I wasn't supposed to visit him that day because I was heading to my new school. Something told me I should go. He only moved his eyes to greet me that day. His drool was thick and covering his nostrils and mouth, so I cleaned it up so he could breathe more comfortably. He had an accident and defecated himself. I picked him up to help the vet intern clean him and his cage, and he layed his head on my neck, and grabbed my shoulders with his nails. Sort of felt like a hug, so I hugged him back. I left at 4h51pm (had to check that because I called my godmother in that exact moment, she was still late but I had to leave so he was alone until she arrived. His heart stopped at 5pm. This gives me chills. They were able to reanimate him and called my family and rushed them over, they got there and he raised his head to greet them, his feet were cold because of his blood pressure and all the cleaning products from earlier. They grabbed his former pink paws that were now completely yellow and tried to heat them. He stabilised and they were there for over two hours. Then the nurse kicked them out at 8pm because visiting hours ended at 6pm. They said goodbye, turned him over so he wouldn't develope bed sores and he panicked. My cousin started screaming and crying, my aunt called for help and as the vets took him, they told Jason it was okay for him to go. After many attempts to bring him back, he was already crossing the rainbow bridge. Rest in peace dear soul.
Goodbye Jason, thank you for everything you did for our family. You did well. We all love you very much.

That's an amazing story Barbara.
It's obvious Jason had a mission and until it was complete, he was going to continue to fight. Once he'd completed it, he returned to the Master that had created him and sent him to your family to heal old wounds and bring you together again.
Quite a feat for a little cat but it sounds like he did his job well and now he's reaping his reward. The best places to chase butterflies, the sunniest places to nap and surrounded by all the love his heart could desire. Soon (for him, since time passes differently at the Bridge) his people will join him and together you'll all cross the bridge and enter Heaven together...forever.
