My first cat was very bored when he was an only cat. Mine were both males. They liked to play with each other when they were young and energetic. One of them died several years ago due to cancer. But the remaining cat is now very old so I don't think he'd enjoy a second cat being around.
Regarding your cat, another cat could be a good thing. Someone to play with. You could ask the shelter why they thought he'd be best without other cats? Did he not like other cats?
