Animals typically have a central nervous system, much like humans.

The pain that they experience is unique to each animal, however some animals can feel pain in a way that is more extreme than the human experience, and others might experience the same amount of trauma in a different, more subtle way.

-If an elephant is hit on it's rear with a human hand, it will feel pain in a lesser way as compared to if a child is hit on it's rear, or a kitten is hit on it's rear.

However, some animals lack a central nervous system, such as oysters and sponges. If there is no central nervous system, there is most likely no capacity for pain. Animals with no nervous system whatsoever can't even feel anything.
It depends on what you mean by the term "hurt".

Yes, animals have emotions and can get hurt physically and emotionally.

For example, if you hit an animal, like a dog or cat with an object they react to the action cause it may hurt of does hurt. in addition the animal you are hitting may become angry or may fear you (which shows a sign of emotion).

Is there an animal that doesn't feel pain?

All animals (and perhaps all living things in general) need to respond to negative stimuli in some way or another. However, not all animals will feel "pain" like we do. Human/mammal pain goes deeper and the suffering can be much more intense. However, some animals lack consciousness and can't feel pain like animals with brains. Examples include jellyfish, clams, corals, anemone, sponges. Pain is an evolutionary feature intended to cue animals to escape to ensure survival. Several animals such as sponges need not escape, as it can reproduce simply by budding and even being shredded alive.
