​ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

This statement was last updated on 11/9/2025
We at Coastal Carolina Kittens are working to make our site Coastal Carolina Kittens coastalcarolinakittens.com accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG [2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2 - select relevant option] guidelines, and have made the site accessible to the level of [A / AA / AAA - select relevant option]. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also [remove irrelevant information]:

  • Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

  • Set the language of the site 

  • Set the content order of the site’s pages

  • Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

  • Added alternative text to images

  • Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

  • Reduced the use of motion on the site

  • Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content

The accessibility of certain pages on the site depend on contents that do not belong to the organization, and instead belong to [enter relevant third-party name]. The following pages are affected by this: [list the URLs of the pages]. We therefore declare partial compliance with the standard for these pages.

Accessibility arrangements in the organization 

At Coastal Carolina Kittens, we believe that everyone — including people with disabilities — should be able to access and use our website to learn about our kitten rescue, fostering and adoption programs, volunteer opportunities, and ways to support us. We are committed to ensuring digital accessibility and providing an inclusive online experience for all.
 

Measures to Support Accessibility
To improve the accessibility of our website, we:

  • Design and maintain the site using semantic HTML, meaningful headings, descriptive link text, and high‑contrast color choices.

  • Provide alt text for meaningful images and ensure video content (where applicable) features captions or transcripts.

  • Ensure navigation is operable via keyboard and compatible with assistive technologies such as screen readers.

  • Use responsive design so the website is usable on a variety of devices and screen sizes.

  • Regularly review our website’s accessibility and work to identify and fix barriers.
    These practices align with the guidance from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and its Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). W3C+2ndda.org+2
     

Conformance Status
While we strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standard, not every page or feature may yet fully conform. Where limitations remain, we are actively working toward improvement.
We welcome feedback on any accessibility issues you encounter.

Technical Specifications
Our website is built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript and is designed to be compatible with major browsers and assistive technologies. Some older browser versions or outdated assistive technologies may not fully support all features.

Known Limitations

  • Occasionally, some third‑party content (e.g., embedded social‑media feeds or external videos) may not meet full accessibility standards.

  • Some images may only have decorative alt attributes and no descriptive text; screen‑reader users may not derive full context from those.

  • We are dependent on the accessibility of third‑party plugins (e.g., donation form widgets) and are working to verify and improve them.
     

Monitoring & Improvement
We will review this Accessibility Statement at least once per year and review the website regularly for accessibility compliance. We welcome suggestions on how to improve the experience for everyone.
 

Thank you for visiting and supporting Coastal Carolina Kittens.
