Yes, it is safe to spay a cat during its heat cycle. There is a very small risk of noticeable personality changes associated with this, but this is much lower than the risk of unwanted kittens from an intact.
There are more potential surgical complications because the reproductive tract is enlarged and much more vascular during an active heat cycle. Some of the potential complications include ovarian remnants being left, difficulty controlling bleeding due to increased blood flow through the area and risk of not adequately closing down the cervix. However, your veterinarian will be aware of these risks and take precautions as needed to address them. The healing time may also be slightly longer.

How do I know if my cat is spayed and what are the signs to look for?
To determine if your cat is spayed, look for a small scar on her abdomen from the surgery. Signs that a cat is spayed include no heat cycles, no interest in mating, and a lack of behavioral changes associated with being in heat. If unsure, consult a veterinarian for confirmation.
How do you make a cat think that you are getting it pregnant without really getting it pregnant?
You can't. A cat will stay in heat and continue to come into heat unless a male cat mates with her, or she is spayed. Unlike most mammals, cats will only ovulate while in the act of mating, so nothing else (unless spayed) will actually stop the heat cycle.
