A man from Illinois came across a cat named Simon on Facebook who has been in the shelter for a very long time, but still hasn't found a home, even after seeing other fosters leaving for their forever homes. After learning Simon's story, the man paid a visit at the shelter. Not being able to keep a pet, he decided to do something for Simon to find a home.

"This guy has been in the shelter for over a year, so I paid his adoption fees in hopes it will help him find a family," he shared the story on reddit.

"I plan on going back this weekend and hang out in the cat room for a while…. Hopefully this post… will help to get some animals adopted."
