She should stay in heat for about 3-5 days, but some cats don't ever come out of heat. It only cost me about $100 to get my cat fixed because we got a certificate from the animal shelter (you donate to the shelter, you only have to pay for the drugs and vet stay, not the actualy procedure). If your cat ends up staying in heat, she can be fixed while in heat.

I have never heard of a cat not coming off heat! Although it may feel like it, as once a cats comes of age her calling (heat) can recur every 2-3 weeks until she is mated or fixed. Most cats call for about 5 days.
It is better to get your cat fixed and not let her keep calling over and over again as this can cause health problems. Plus a cat in heat may start scent marking to attract a mate. (Its not just male cats that scent mark with urine).
I hope this helps.
