My cat was spayed in May, but she has gone into heat multiple times in the three months since I adopted her. I was wondering if this is something that will happen for the rest of her life or if they possibly missed tissue and I need to get her respayed?

I would have Phlily seen by a vet for this. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes an ovarian remnant can be left behind, causing the cat to continue going into heat. I recommend an exploratory surgery.
