Cats go into heat frequently throughout the year if they are not spayed or neutered.
Estrus ("heat") is the mating period of female animals. When estrus occurs, animals are said to be "in heat" or "in season." Cats normally have their first estrous cycle between 5 and 10 months of age, with the average age around 6 months.
The female cat has 2-4 estrous periods every year, each lasting 15-22 days. If she is bred, estrus seldom lasts more than 4 days.
If successful mating does not occur, estrus may last for 7-10 days and recur at 15- to 21-day intervals. It is possible for an unmated female to cycle every 3-4 weeks indefinitely.
Cats also have an estrous period 1-6 weeks after giving birth, so a female may be nursing one litter while pregnant with another

Cats are heat triggered breeds, meaning, if the weather is above 60 degrees or so. Cats usually go into their first heat at 6 months, but can do so even earlier. Cats also routinely go into heat and get pregnant while nurising a litter. So, get your cat spayed ASAP. It is vital for her, for you, and for the pet overpopulation crisis.

If you don't get them fixed, they may go into heat at random times. Any time would be right. You can never tell when.

cats can go into heat at any time of the year..
however it is best to spay your female cat before she has a risk of getting pregnant - THOUSANDS of kittens are euthanized or killed every day because of lack of homes for them - even if you find homes for your kittens it means somebody else did not - also spayed cats have fewer health risks

They usually start in February and cycle every three weeks until October. Individuals vary, and the season is longer in warmer climates.
