I believe the answer is:

tatty

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scruffy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'final character in breakfast at tiffany's eviscerated' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'character' could be 'y' and 'y' is found in the answer.
'at' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tatty that I've seen before include "Showing signs of wear and tear" , "Shabby, in a worn state" , "of poor quality" , "Tawdry" , "dishevelled" .)
