Does NGC 3621 belong to any group of galaxies?

I know it doesn't belong to the Local Group, but that's as far as I was able to figure out on line. If it does, anyone know of a galaxy that doesn't really belong to any group a galaxies, truly an island universe so to speak?

    It does not appear (from current observations) to be gravitationally linked to any major galaxies.

    It's near the Virgo cluster, but doesn't appear to be part of a cluster itself.
