Are the three cats bonded with each other? It won't be impossible to split them even if they are bonded together
They will notice they are not together, and you might get a bit of mourning behaviour (for example, when Ebony's boyfriend got euthanased at the vet, Ebony would wander around with food in her mouth, calling for him - this was one of the two most extreme reaction to change i have seen in cats, the other extreme behaviour i saw the aftermath of was my first cat Beauty, she was a very nervous fearful little girl and when she lost her home cause her owner died, then ended up in the family's home, got terrified of the kids so they gave her to rescue, then from rescue she came to me, 4 changes in a matter of months was too much for her, she had nothing from her "old life" left, I don't think your cat will react like that though)
I don't think yours will react like my Beauty did though
I think the worst you'll get, is your cat looking for the other two and coming to you to "ask" you where the other two are, but they do get used to not seeing each other
