No.

Sphinx cats (those furless ones) can get sunburnt and even get skin cancer from prolonged exposure, so most likely any cat or indeed any animal could get burnt without their fur to protect them.

I imagine other mammals without a thick fur to protect them would be vulnerable; in particular the domestic pig.
