Conformance Status<\/b><\/h2>

1905 New Media has self-evaluated the website to ensure conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. While we aim to maintain full compliance, there may be some areas of the website that have nonconformance, known or unknown. We continuously work to improve our website and address these issues as they are identified.<\/p>

Known Nonconformance<\/b><\/h3>

Despite our efforts to ensure full compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, we acknowledge that some areas of our website may have accessibility limitations. The following list details known nonconformance issues, along with our plans for addressing them:<\/p>

  1. Non-text Content & Images: Certain images or charts may not have sufficient alternative text descriptions. We are in the process of reviewing these images and adding detailed descriptions to meet accessibility standards. This work is expected to be completed by August 1, 2023.<\/li>
  2. Keyboard Navigation: Some parts of the website may have limited keyboard navigation functionality, making it difficult for users who rely on keyboard-only navigation, specifically when headings are used for navigation. We are actively working to identify and fix these issues, with an estimated completion date of August 1, 2023.<\/li>
  3. Color Contrast: Some text and background color combinations on the website may not meet the minimum contrast ratio required by WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We are in the process of reviewing and adjusting the color contrast to ensure better readability for users with visual impairments. Estimated completion date: August 1, 2023.<\/li>
  4. Form Labels and Error Messages: Some form elements on our website may lack proper labeling or contain unclear error messages, making it difficult for users with assistive technology to complete these forms. We are working to improve the form labels and error messages to meet accessibility standards. Estimated completion date: August 1, 2023.<\/li>
  5. Resize Text & Reflow: Certain parts of the website may not scale properly when users resize text to improve readability. We are working to address these issues to ensure that our website remains functional and accessible when text is resized. Estimated completion date: August 1, 2023.<\/li>
  6. Third-party Services and iFrames: The adoption listing services for both Cats and Dogs is powered by a third-party service Shelterluv. While we have tested this vendor briefly, we know they do not offer a VPAT and therefore do not have a formal accessibility template or statement. Learn more www.shelterluv.com<\/span><\/a>. This website also links to an external site for e-commerce using Bonfire. This vendor also does not offer a VPAT or an accessibility status or statement.
