We had a chat with them on the phone about each of them, and they've also now had an older cat with no health issues other than being a little overweight. Felt quite sad about #3 who has been there for a year, poor thing. We're off to meet them all individually tomorrow and take it from there. We've ordered the basics anyway; bed, litter tray, brush, bowls etc, so reasonably well prepared.
We did kind of say to the homing officer that ideally we'd like a chilled cat that doesn't have any health problems, but appreciate there'd be some compromise with us being an indoor only home. Asking about insurance as well and they were pretty up front in saying it'd be hard for them.

Hey,
As a first cat, I'd go with FIV cat out of the 3.
My logic is it will be normalish, 2 will require lots of work along with special diet, possible injections and 3 is an cat that will need a lot of attention and work to socialise that I don't know you have the time or skill as I believe it would be quite specialised.
Remember you are doing more than most to help kitty kind. Photos when they arrive.
