This paper seeks to contribute to research on transnational care circulation by proposing a "more-than-human" approach to care circuits. The more-than-human is present at all levels in internationak migration: in what people on the move carry with them, in the places and situations they pass through, in bordering practices and policies, and in how people maintain connections with those left behind. Paying attention to the "more-than-human" within care circulations implies a renewed focus on affects and attachments in relation to objects, nature, and animals. My paper will draw on a recent research on humanimal care chains, undertook in the context of Ukrainian exile following Russian invasion of February 2022.
