Dozens of animals were listed on the Facebook page over the past 24 hours.
Frightened pets and damaged fences have seen an influx of lost and found animals around Perth since wild storms hit the metropolitan area on Wednesday.
As lightning strikes lit up the city accompanied by thunder and damaging winds, more than 100 animals were listed on thePets of Perth Lost and Found Facebook pageover the past 24 hours.
Pets of Perth author Bianca Castle said her page usually listed 20 lost and found animals a day, but since Wednesday had posted 132, including three dogs that had been hit by cars, one of which had died.

"Lost Neo - Missing from North Coogee on S Beach Promenade since this afternoon.Border Collie x Kelpie.Ran away from the thunder. He would most likely (be) injured due to fall. Probably looking for a quiet place to hide," owner Rohen Adams wrote on the Facebook page.
"Layla, took off today between 11 and 3. She has always been spooked by the storms but has never run off. We are very worried for her as she is a timid dog and don't believe she will go to anyone if approached," another worried owner wrote.
Nicky Barton Roberts added: "Brindle staffy just seen running across Wilson Park Sth Fremantle, going towards South Beach way. Didn't look scared but was looking around."
Sharron Smith was on the receiving end, posting: "Dog found in our yard. Very friendly please call . . . if you know owner."
In a happier of turn events, owner Samantha Woods wrote: "Our dog Molly took off early this morning in the storm from Bassendean. She is microchipped and registered. If you see her please msg me on here... thanks," before later thanking Garry at Pet Lovers Cafe in Guildford for finding her.

Updated: Wednesday, 26 Nov 2014 15:05 | Comments Un De Sceaux and stablemate Vautour are vying for favouritism for the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival
Ruby Walsh believes Un De Sceaux will take chasing in his stride ahead of his first run over fences in the Killinan Beginners' Chase at Thurles tomorrow.
The six-year-old is already one of the favourites for the Arkle at Cheltenham in March, without ever having jumped a fence in public.
His Willie Mullins-trained stablemate Vautour made a breathtaking debut over fences on Sunday and the pair look to be two of the most exciting recruits to chasing for some time.
Un De Sceaux is unbeaten in nine outings and signed off last season by winning two Graded races at Auteuil.
The inveterate front-runner won many fans with his exuberant style over hurdles, something Walsh does not expect to change now he goes over fences.
Walsh told Racing UK: "I imagine it will be fast and furious as he likes to get on with it.
"His schooling has been pretty much like Vautour's and hopefully he can do the same when he goes to the track.
"You're a bit of a passenger on his back, but I was quite taken with the way he jumped hurdles in Auteuil and so was Barry Geraghty (who rode him to win in March), obviously they are bigger than the hurdles in England and Ireland.
"The way he jumped at Auteuil, you'd say fences won't be a problem. In fairness to him, as keen as he is, he is quite intelligent so hopefully he'll be the same (over fences).

Updated: Tuesday, 25 Nov 2014 16:57 | Comments Djakadam will bid to become the first Irish-trained winner of the Hennessy Gold Cup since Bright Highway in 1980 when he lines up at Newbury on Saturday
Ruby Walsh is more worried about Djakadam having had only three runs over fences rather than the fact that he is only a five-year-old ahead of Saturday's Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury.
No horse that young has ever won the prestigious race, but Walsh rewrote the history books on the Paul Nicholls-trained Master Minded, who won the Queen Mother Champion Chase in 2008 when just five.
Trained by Willie Mullins, Djakadam was last seen falling in the JLT Novices' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, on just his third outing over fences, and he runs off a mark of 142 having won his first two starts last season.
Speaking in his blog for Paddy Power, Walsh said: "The pundits are saying that Djakadam can't win the Hennessy Gold Cup on Saturday because he's only a five-year-old.
"They said Master Minded couldn't win a Champion Chase when he was that age. He did - so the stats are there to be broken.
"A bigger worry for me is that he has just three runs over fences and is inexperienced for a race like this."
David Pipe expects Ballynagour to run with honour, as long as his stamina holds out.
The eight-year-old claimed the Byrne Group Plate at the Cheltenham Festival in March and was second to Sizing Europe at Punchestown a month later.
Ballynagour has, however, never been campaigned over the Hennessy's extended three-and-a-quarter-mile trip, so will be taking a shot into the unknown.

The Brandon Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation acknowledges recipients of the Brandon Housing and Community Awards during its annual general meeting at city hall on Wednesday.
A partnership between Assiniboine Community College and Habitat for Humanity Manitoba was given special recognition yesterday for its affordable housing project.
ACC trades students and Habitat for Humanity volunteers were presented with a 2014 Housing Award from the Brandon Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation.
"I cant express how much it means to us to have the opportunity to build a house for Habitat for Humanity," said Zac DeSchutter, ACC student in the pre-employment carpentry program.
DeSchutter spoke to the crowd at BNRCs award ceremony following the organizations annual general meeting in the city hall foyer on Wednesday.
"There are several different reasons why this is such a great opportunity for us. One of them being, we get to learn on a first-hand basis what its like to build a house from the ground up."
DeSchutter said it has also been a "tremendous community building opportunity" for the students.
"We get to know that this house will be there standing for years after we built it, and we can drive by and know thats our first project that we worked on."
Habitat for Humanity and ACC trades students partnered to build a ready-to-move home. Students are building the home as part of their 2014-15 curriculum. Carpentry, woodworking, plumbing and construction electrician programs are all involved in the initiative. The build began in September and is expected to be complete this coming summer.
