I have a British blue rescue cat that was 5 when I brought him home, he absolutely follows me around and is the most affectionate of all the cats I've had. When you go to the Humane society talk to them and let them know what kind of temperament you are looking for, many places now have that kind of info on file. Just google the attributes that you are interested in; like, first time cat owner, loyal, affectionate, think about how much grooming you want to do. Matching temperament is much more important than picking a pet by looks.
Main Coon cats, British short hairs, Ragamuffins are some of the easier going breeds. There are pro's and cons for each although all of those are large cats-there is more to hug that way!  .
I was a volunteer for a few years at our shelter and we had a space where people could go spend time getting to know the animal they were thinking about adopting, that helps you get acquainted. We loved people who asked questions and wanted to pick the right pet for their home life not just the cute babes cause it was a whim. You're asking all the right questions.
