Heather, I have spayed 6 FeLV girls and neutered 2 FeLV boys - all rescues. None of the girls were in heat. If you can, it would be better until this heat cycle is over to spay her. That would also give you a chance to feed her a good diet for a couple of weeks to build up her system.
Spaying her will be less stressful than repeated heat cycles.
