Script Kitty Cat Café & Technology Hub

A Bridge Between Rescue, Technology, and Opportunity

The Pittsburgh Script Kitty Cat Café & Technology Hub is a nonprofit community space built to connect worlds that are too often kept apart.

We bring together homeless cats in need of safety, talented people in need of opportunity, and technology with the power to change lives. All under one roof, all working toward the same goal: creating paths forward.

This is more than just a café. It is a living ecosystem designed to heal, teach, and empower.

Our Vision

We believe in bridges.

• Bridges between homeless animals and permanent homes.
• Bridges between underserved talent and real opportunity.
• Bridges between technology and compassion.
• Bridges between people who want to help and people who need it most.

The Cat Café and Rescue Mission

At the heart of the space is a calm, beautiful space with a beautiful outdoor atrium designed specifically for cats and humans to coexist safely and comfortably.

• A foster-based rescue environment for cats awaiting adoption.
• A cat café where visitors can spend time with adoptable cats.
• A therapeutic space that reduces stress, loneliness, and isolation.
• A visible adoption platform supported by livestreaming and online reach via Script Kitty OS.

We partner with local and national rescues, including organizations in Puerto Rico and underserved regions, to provide safe transition spaces, adoption visibility, and fundraising support.

Cats help people heal. People help cats find homes. The cycle continues.

Technology for Good

Technology is the second pillar of the hub. Inside the café and adjoining workshop spaces, we host hands-on programs that turn curiosity into skills and skills into opportunity.

• Free and low-cost coding, cybersecurity and hardware workshops.
• Open-source gadget building for rescues, shelters, and nonprofits.
• Community hackathons focused on social good.
• STEM education for underserved youth.
• Mentorship from experienced engineers and technologists.
• Live build sessions streamed to reach a global audience.

Everything built here is designed to be shared. Tools, software, and hardware projects are open-source so other rescues, cafés, and nonprofits can benefit.

A Space Designed for Community

The hub is designed as a welcoming, light-filled environment with an indoor atrium, community tables, workshop areas, and flexible event space.

• Fundraising events and donor gatherings.
• Community meetups and speaker series.
• Student showcases and demo days.
• Public tech talks and live builds.
• Adoption events and rescue fundraisers.

Located near cultural districts, outreach organizations, and schools, the café is positioned to become a true community anchor — a place people return to.

Expanding Impact Beyond the Café

The Pittsburgh location is the first of many.

• Helping other rescues launch similar café and tech spaces.
• Supporting prison-based programs that combine animal rehabilitation and technology education.
• Creating certification pathways in software and cybersecurity for incarcerated individuals.
• Helping participants rebuild their lives with real skills, real work, and real savings.
• Connecting donors, mentors, and professionals with people ready to learn and contribute.

We believe in second chances — for animals, for people, for communities.

Why This Matters

• It creates adoptable outcomes for animals.
