Project Overview
The Purrfect Haven Cat Rescue website is a heartfelt practice project envisioned as a non-profit dedicated to saving abandoned and stray cats, providing them with a caring sanctuary for medical treatment, affection, and rehabilitation. This project reflects a commitment to creating an engaging and responsive platform that supports thoughtful adoptions, community volunteer efforts, and educational outreach to promote feline welfare and responsible pet ownership.
This website was crafted using HTML and CSS, with a focus on mastering Flexbox to achieve a responsive and visually cohesive design. These core technologies allowed me to apply my growing web development skills, developed through dedicated practice, to build a clean, user-friendly site that effectively showcases the rescue’s mission. This project highlights my ability to create an intuitive digital platform that balances functionality with aesthetic appeal.

This approach guarantees a lightweight, accessible platform that loads quickly and invites users to explore adoption and volunteer opportunities with ease.
The design philosophy centers on warmth and inclusivity, incorporating a soothing palette of creamy whites, sunny oranges, and subtle beiges drawn from the playful essence of cats, alongside straightforward typography that blends legibility with a gentle, contemporary charm. Prominent prompts, such as “Want to make a difference? There are so many ways to get involved!” guide users toward actions like volunteering or fostering, sparking participation in adoption efforts and support programs.
