Unfortunately the only thing you can do is keep Cali quiet and warm, and get her into a vet asap. I would be very concerned based on your description of her symptoms that she has a pyometra. A pyometra is a life threatening infection of the uterus that is fatal without treatment. If she does in fact have a pyometra, she needs to see a vet now. I would call around to see if you can find an ER clinic to take her into, if there is a vet on call to see her, or get her into a vet clinic as soon as they open. I hope this helps!
