Unfortunately, I can see this all too easily, as many people are quick to make judgements of someone unable to keep a pet any longer.
And some well meaning animal lovers can be very unpleasant to anyone who is giving up a pet for any reason.

I would prefer to see this, as it is an alternative to what a lot of folks will do if it doesn't exist.
Such as dump animals on lonely roads, or leave them in parks or other places on the theory that they'll be better off.
Some shelters in the western states do have after hours drop cages, and those have saved many animals from an unpleasant fate.
