Are you in the City of Pittsburgh? Animal Control has an emergency line for after hours calls: 412-255-2935

If you’re not in Pittsburgh proper, your municipality might also have an emergency line.

ACHD also has an emergency line 412-687-2243. They have someone on-call to answer 24/7, including holidays.

You might have to demand from Animal Control that the bat get tested, but you definitely want it to be tested. If there is any chance the bat was in your house while you were sleeping and/or you handled the bat and it is positive to rabies, you should have a post-exposure rabies vaccine.
