Yes, kittens are born with a thin layer of fur called "neonatal fur." This fur helps to regulate their body temperature as they are unable to do so on their own for the first few weeks of their life. The mother cat will groom them to help keep them clean and stimulate their circulation.
Kittens have fur, not hair. They are not born fur-less. They have a short coat of fur all over their bodies.

Can one cat have male and female sex organs?
Yes, there are feline hermaphrodites. My cat is one. My cat has a small penis, but he also has an opening similar to a vagina. In male cats, there is space with fur between the uretha and the anus. Female cats don't have that much space, and it sort of looks like an upside down exclamation point. Three vets all examined my cat to determine its gender, and they all agreed that he just didn't have what he needed to have to be a boy, but he definitely had what appears to be a penis. (None of this is easy to see. My cat howls when they poke and prod him to examine his genitalia.)
