Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: June 2026

At Fable's Hamster Rescue, we are committed to making our website as accessible and inclusive as possible for all visitors, regardless of ability or the technology they use. We believe everyone should be able to access information about hamster welfare, adoption, education and our rescue services without unnecessary barriers.

​

Our Commitment

We aim to make our website easy to use by:

  • Using clear and easy-to-understand language wherever possible.

  • Maintaining a consistent layout and navigation throughout the website.

  • Using readable fonts and colour combinations with good contrast.

  • Providing descriptive headings to help users navigate content.

  • Ensuring the website can be used across a range of devices, including desktop computers, tablets and mobile phones.

  • Regularly reviewing our website to identify and improve accessibility.

 

Accessibility Features

Where possible, we aim to:

  • Provide alternative text (alt text) for meaningful images.

  • Ensure links clearly describe their destination.

  • Structure pages using logical heading levels.

  • Avoid relying solely on colour to communicate important information.

  • Keep forms simple and easy to complete.

  • Ensure text can be enlarged using browser zoom settings without significantly affecting usability.

 

Known Limitations

While we strive to make every part of our website accessible, some areas may not yet fully meet all accessibility standards.

Examples may include:

  • Some older images or documents may not yet include alternative text.

  • Some third-party services or embedded content (such as payment providers, fundraising platforms or social media content) may have accessibility limitations beyond our control.

  • Some downloadable resources may require ongoing improvements to accessibility.

We are continually working to improve these areas.

 

Browser and Device Compatibility

Our website is designed to work with current versions of major web browsers, including:

  • Google Chrome

  • Microsoft Edge

  • Mozilla Firefox

  • Apple Safari

The website is also designed to be responsive and usable on mobile devices and tablets.

 

Third-Party Content

Some areas of our website use third-party services, including payment processing, fundraising platforms and embedded social media content. Although we choose reputable providers wherever possible, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of content or services that are controlled by third parties.
