One major example of caring is Darry's willingness to work two jobs and give up all the things he wants to do in order to keep the boys together. He is awfully young to have assumed the responsibility to take care of the family but he does it quickly and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep them together.
Another example is Ponyboy's willingness to run off with Johnny so that he won't be alone. He is also willing to read to Johnny from the book and is totally destroyed when Johnny dies from the wounds he sustained while rescuing the boys in the church.
Which is of course another example of caring. When Johnny and Dally and Ponyboy get back to the church, Johnny and Pony assume it might be their fault that the fire started. So they rush in to save the kids that are trapped in the back without a second thought. They obviously care about other people and are willing to risk their own lives to save them.
