Koalas have thick fur which serves two main purposes.
The fur has two layers. Koalas have a dense undercoat, and on top is longer, coarser fur that grows out through the undercoat. The undercoat keeps the koala warm in winter and cooler in summer, while the outer, fluffy layer protects them from rain.

Yes. Koalas have soft fur. In some animal sanctuaries in Australia, tame koalas are brought out for people to pat and even hold. The fur is soft and deep enough to bury one's fingers in.
