This article asks what might be achieved by entangling care for other species with AI model creation in order to attend to ethical concerns surrounding the technological trajectory of animal-human-AI interactions. It argues that before we can teach AI to have caring intentions, we need to teach ourselves radical acts of caregiving. Through a practice-based approach, I deliver a call to action for developing a methodological framework for technological development by using a case study involving animal rehabilitation volunteering. This is exemplified in the The (m)Otherhood of Meep artwork, whose creative process aims to ignite conversations regarding care-full machine learning.
