In the later books, a cat is left behind in a ruined town, but is retrieved by the main character. A character who the cat liked is killed and the cat is left with one who doesn't like them very much.

The protagonist’s mother becomes catatonically depressed in the backstory and is unable to take care of her children, leaving the protagonist to become the primary caregiver. Although the mother recovers and her condition is treated sensitively, it’s still seen as emotional abandonment.

Characters hunt and pursue one another in the Hunger Games. Even before the Games, the protagonist and other characters always operate under the assumption that they are being watched or might be overheard by Peacekeepers

The entire concept is that children are forced to fight to the death. Framing it as entertainment is part of the abuse--the villains are so powerful that they can force a whole society to act like watching kids kill each other is all in good fun.

Mentioned at the beginning of the book that a tribute a few years earlier would eat his victims in the arena and he was killed off by the gamemakers, so it’s an unspoken rule that cannabilism is one of the few things not allowed in the arena.

Katniss mentions previous tributes from her district were forced to wear nothing but Charcoal all over their bodies to be shown off to all of panem, we do not know the age of these tributes but there is a high possibility that they were underage since the age range fir going into the games is 12 to 18

A tracking device is inserted into characters' forearms before the Games begin. It is not an invasive procedure (it is very quick), but the main character is uncomfortable while it's happening and it is against her will.

Not explicitly. One character who is shown to have proficient knowledge in plants, dies by eating poisonous berries. It is unknown if she knew the effects of the berries beforehand. Two characters are also almost of commit suicide, but they ultimately don't.

More so in later books of the series, but the main characters go through traumatic events which result in PTSD that is explored later in the series.
There is a scene towards the end of this book where the main characters are exploring a part of the woods and one character becomes distressed when she realises she can't find the other, similar to earlier events in the book which resulted in another character's death. In another scene the same character becomes upset because the other was about to eat berries that resulted in another minor character's death. Both scenes could be examples of the character being very impacted by previously experienced traumatic events, but I don't believe they would be triggering.

The themes are more prominent in the later books for some characters, but it's mentioned that the child tributes have been forced to wear very revealing outfits on the live television in the past and that some tributes' mentors specifically present them as promiscuous. The main character worries she will be presented in the same way but does not end up being.
The children, and the main character, are inherently objectified throughout their entire time in the games and after if they survive.
