My baby girl has been running around like crazy today, and when she wasn't running she was super affectionate. She was begging for attention all day. Normally she likes belly rubs, but today she wanted you to scratch just before her tail. Once night time arrived she got very vocal. Please tell me this is not what I think it is....she hasn't been spayed yet since we weren't sure if she had been by her previous people. We adopted her from a friend of ours who rescued her. I'm assuming she's in heat, and if I'm correct what do i do for now? I mean obviously if she is in heat we will take her to the vet Monday morning or asap. Lol please help my baby.

There really isn't anything you can do besides make sure she stays indoors, kitties in heat can be quite the escape artists, and take her to the vet.  Some vets like to wait a few days before spaying so they aren't in full heat others will go ahead and spay.  It's hard with many kitties to find a time when they aren't in heat.

It does sound like she is in heat.
