It is quite likely she is in heat, especially if she is also calling or shouting loudly. If you do not want kittens, be sure to keep her indoors and isolated from any unneutered male cats until you can have her spayed

Yes, it sounds like she is in heat. There is nothing you can do. This is a natural process and she will be fine. After she goes out of heat I suggest you have her spayed if possible to avoid unwanted pregnancy and medical/health issues.
